Micro Ear Cup Forceps (Straight)

What it is

The Micro Ear Cup Forceps (Straight) is a fine-jaw, single-action instrument used to grasp, position, and manipulate small tissue fragments, tympanic membrane remnants, and grafts within the middle-ear space. The cupped jaw profile minimises trauma to surrounding ossicular structures while maintaining secure purchase on the target tissue.

When & how it's used

Most commonly deployed during tympanoplasty to handle the tympanic membrane graft (temporalis fascia or perichondrium) and to clear granulation tissue from the middle ear. Also used in myringoplasty, ossiculoplasty, and exploratory tympanotomy procedures where space constraints demand a narrow-profile instrument with precise cup-jaw control.

The Micro Ear Cup Forceps is an essential precision instrument in any ENT surgeon’s middle-ear tray. Its slender profile and cup-jaw tip allow for controlled manipulation in the confined tympanic cavity without risk of inadvertent ossicular contact.

Design features

• Cup jaw tip: atraumatic capture of fragile graft material
• Single-action spring handle: consistent jaw opening force, reduces operator fatigue
• 14 cm working length: suitable for most adult ear canals; paediatric lengths available on request
• Stainless steel construction: autoclave-compatible, corrosion-resistant
