Description

Troeltsch-Wilde Ear Dressing Forceps

Troeltsch-Wilde ear dressing forceps are angled forceps for aural dressings. Clinicians rely on them to insert and remove ear packing, wicks and small dressings.

An angled pattern

The angle offsets the hand from the line of sight. So the clinician can watch the tips through an ear speculum without the fingers in the way. That view matters when you place a dressing deep in the canal.

Size details

We list this pattern as angled, but we do not currently publish a length. Therefore, please contact us if you need dimensions to match an existing set. We will confirm them before you order.

Uses in otology

After ear surgery, the canal often holds packing for a period. Then the packing must come out at follow-up. These forceps also help place a medicated wick when a swollen canal needs drops.

Angled or bayonet

Some clinicians prefer an angled pattern like this one. Others, however, choose a bayonet form such as the Lucae forceps. Both keep the hand clear, so personal feel usually decides.

Caring for your Troeltsch-Wilde ear dressing forceps

Clean the tips after each patient. Next, open the forceps and scrub the joint with a small brush. Dry them well before sterilization.
