Ear Instruments Manufactured in Our Own Factory
Otology and audiology clinics, ENT theatres, paediatric services and distributors supplying hearing care providers order from this section. The catalogue divides naturally into the examination and cerumen management instruments used every clinic day, and the micro instruments used down an operating microscope where tip dimensions are measured in fractions of a millimetre. Work of that kind is finished by hand at the bench, with tips ground, matched and inspected under magnification before polishing, because a micro pick that sits a fraction out of true is unusable at the ossicular chain.
Aural specula are supplied in 2.5 mm to 8 mm diameters, as single pieces and as graded sets. Micro instruments are offered with straight, 45 degree and 90 degree tips, in left and right forms where the anatomy demands. Suction tubes run from 0.6 mm to 3 mm with finger control ports. Satin finish is standard on microscope instruments to cut glare. The whole range is reusable and takes a full autoclave cycle at 134 degrees C.

Choosing the Right Ear Instruments
Choosing Aural Speculum Sizes
A clinic set should cover the full range rather than the middle of it. Diameters of 2.5 mm and 3 mm are needed for infants and narrow canals, 4 mm and 5 mm serve most adult examination, and 6 mm to 8 mm give working room for suction clearance and grommet insertion. Buying a graded set usually costs less than single pieces, and holding duplicates of the two sizes you use most keeps a busy clinic moving.
Angled Tips For Middle Ear Work
Straight picks and needles reach the tympanic membrane and anterior mesotympanum, but the sinus tympani, facial recess and posterior ossicular chain need angled tips. A practical middle ear set carries 45 degree and 90 degree picks in both left and right forms, plus a sickle knife and a round knife elevator. Order angled instruments in pairs, since a right handed surgeon working the left ear frequently needs the mirrored pattern.
Protecting Micro Instruments Between Cases
Micro ear instruments fail from handling rather than from use. Store them in a slotted rack or silicone tip guard so points never touch other steel, keep them out of general instrument trays, and clean fine lumens and tips with a soft brush rather than loading them against hard surfaces. Inspect tips under magnification at each cycle, since a bent or burred point can abrade the ossicles without the surgeon feeling it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What goes into a basic ear examination and wax removal set?
Most clinics stock a graded set of aural specula, a Jobson Horne probe, blunt and sharp wax curettes, crocodile or Hartmann forceps, fine aural dressing forceps and a suction tube with a finger control port. High use items such as specula and curettes are usually duplicated several times so the list is never held up waiting for reprocessing. Sets and single pieces are both supplied.
Do you supply left and right handed micro ear instruments?
Yes. Angled picks, needles, hooks and elevators are produced in mirrored left and right forms, and we recommend ordering them in pairs so the correct approach angle is available for either ear. Tip angles of 45 and 90 degrees are standard, and other angles can be manufactured to your specification if your technique or microscope setup calls for something different.
How should micro ear instruments be sterilised and stored?
They are reusable and fully autoclavable at 134 degrees C. Clean immediately after use, brush tips gently and flush suction tubes with warm water and neutral detergent, then dry completely before the cycle. Store them in a rack or case that isolates each tip, because contact with other instruments inside a shared tray is the most common cause of bent points and lost fineness.
What is the minimum order for branded ear instrument sets?
Minimum quantities for OEM and private label production are deliberately low, so hearing care providers and smaller distributors can order a branded set without committing to heavy stock. Your logo, part numbers and packaging design are applied in house, and we send marked samples for approval first. Wholesale pricing improves with volume, and shipping is by DHL or FedEx with tracking.
