Professional Foot Plate Hand Instruments for Delicate Otological Surgery
The Foot Plate Hand Instruments are the cornerstone of successful stapes surgery, specifically engineered to navigate the microscopic environment of the oval window. These instruments, often referred to as footplate picks or hooks, feature specialized tips ranging from 0.1mm to 0.5mm to allow for the atraumatic manipulation of the stapes footplate. Adas Instruments manufactures these tools with reinforced shafts to eliminate vibration, ensuring the surgeon maintains total control under high-magnification. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that meet the rigorous demands of modern otology.
