Eicken Elevator: Specialized Sinus Exploration & Irrigation
The Eicken Elevator from Adas Instruments is an essential component of the ENT surgical tray, expertly designed for accessing the maxillary antrum. This multifunctional instrument serves as both a blunt dissector to elevate sinus mucosa and a high-precision cannula for therapeutic irrigation, ensuring a thorough cleansing of the sinus cavities.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Eicken elevator undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The smooth, rounded tip is designed to minimize the risk of accidental puncture or tissue laceration during entry into the sinus ostium. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the internal lumen is polished to prevent blockage during fluid delivery or aspiration.
Surgical Applications
- Sinus Irrigation: Used to deliver saline or medicated solutions directly into the maxillary sinus to clear infection or debris.
- Mucosal Elevation: Acts as a blunt dissector to gently separate or lift sinus membranes during antral procedures.
- Diagnostic Exploration: Provides a safe method for probing the sinus anatomy to identify polyps, cysts, or anatomical obstructions.
Care and Maintenance Section
To ensure the patency of the hollow shaft, the instrument should be flushed with a cleaning wire or enzymatic solution immediately after use. It is fully autoclavable and resistant to repeated processing. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
