Micro Ear Forceps

Description

Micro Ear Forceps

These alligator micro ear forceps grasp small objects and tissue within the canal and tympanic cavity. Otologists also use them to place grafts and remove debris under the microscope.

The alligator action

An alligator forceps opens only at the tip, so the jaws need very little room. Meanwhile, the handle stays out of the field. Therefore, the design suits narrow spaces such as the ear canal.

Five jaw styles

We list Straight Serrated, Curved Up, Curved Serrated, Curved Right and Curved Left jaws. The straight jaw works along the shaft line. The curved jaws, by contrast, reach around corners in several directions.

Common uses

Surgeons pick up graft material, remove small fragments and position packing with these forceps. For example, a curved jaw can lift the edge of a graft that a straight jaw cannot reach. In clinic, the same tool helps remove foreign bodies.

How to choose

Start with straight serrated alligator micro ear forceps if you want one general tool. Then add a curved pair for the side you work on most. Also, teams doing a lot of ear surgery often stock all five styles.

Caring for your micro ear forceps

Open and close the jaws under running water to flush the joint. That way, rinse water reaches the whole mechanism. Also brush the tip lightly, then look for any trapped tissue. Dry the forceps well and sterilize them with the tips shielded.
