Littauer Ear Polypus Forceps

Description

Littauer Ear Polypus Forceps

Littauer ear polypus forceps are curved forceps for otology. Surgeons use them to grasp and remove polyps, granulation tissue and small debris from the ear canal.

The benefit of a curve

In ear work, the hand can easily block the view down the speculum. A curved instrument moves the hand to one side. As a result, the tissue stays visible while the jaws close.

Our version

We sell this pattern curved and 13 cm long. The length suits both clinic and operating room use. However, we do not list jaw sizes, so please contact us if you need them before ordering.

Where they help

Chronic otitis can produce polyps and granulation that hide the eardrum. So surgeons often clear this tissue during an exam or before surgery. These forceps also assist with placing and removing ear packing.

Straight or curved?

Many surgeons like to have both shapes. Straight forceps work well for a direct approach. Curved forceps, meanwhile, suit work under a microscope, where hand position matters most. Pair these with a straight model for full coverage.

Caring for your Littauer ear polypus forceps

Rinse the jaws soon after use. Then scrub the joint with a soft brush and look for trapped tissue. Dry the forceps completely before you sterilize them.

Placing an order

This pair carries a three-year warranty, so any workmanship fault is our problem. Also, we inspect the pair by hand in Atlanta and confirm that the jaws close cleanly. Answers about shipping and invoices wait on our frequently asked questions page. For steel, we point to ASTM F899, which covers surgical instrument stainless. The straight Buck ear polypus forceps make a natural partner. See more choices in our ENT range.
