Hartmann Micro Crocodile Ear Forceps, Serrated, 18 cm
Part No.: MS-VW-079-1
Manufacturer: Manning Surgical
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The Hartmann Micro Crocodile Ear Forceps (Serrated, 18 cm) is a specialized, non-ratcheted otorhinolaryngological (ENT) surgical instrument engineered for high-precision gripping, placement, and removal of foreign bodies or tissue debris within the external auditory canal and middle ear cavity. Featuring a distinct right-angled shaft and an ultra-narrow profile, this instrument provides an unobstructed line of sight under magnification or direct otoscopic visualization. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, its micro-articulating serrated jaws deliver maximum tactile feedback and firm non-slip traction while minimizing the risk of iatrogenic trauma to sensitive tissue and the tympanic membrane.
Features:
- Anatomical Ergonomics: Designed with an angled 18 cm shaft that keeps the clinician’s hand completely outside the direct line of sight during deep otoscopic procedures.
- Micro-Serrated Jaws: Features fine horizontal inner serrations on the grasping surfaces to ensure a secure, slip-resistant hold on smooth, hard, or gelatinous foreign bodies and ear wax.
- Hinge-Action Mechanism: The distal working jaws open and close independently while the shaft remains static, preventing unintended collateral tissue friction along the ear canal walls.
- Ultra-Fine Working Tip: Engineered with a low-profile micro tip optimized for navigating auditory canals without triggering tissue trauma.
- Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Manufactured from premium, corrosion-resistant AISI 304/420 stainless steel for exceptional durability and long-term mechanical reliability.
- Sterilization Compatibility: Fully autoclavable and resistant to standard thermal, chemical, and ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization protocols.
- Precise Tactile Feedback: Ergonomic finger rings enable fine motor control, allowing surgeons to calibrate grasping force accurately during microsurgical interventions.
