Wagener Ear Hooklet: Precision Atraumatic Manipulation in Otology
The Wagener Ear Hooklet from Adas Instruments is an essential micro-surgical tool for ENT specialists who require a delicate touch during ear canal exploration and reconstructive procedures. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this hooklet is specifically designed to provide clinicians with the accuracy needed to manage delicate anatomical structures and grafts without risk of puncture or laceration.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Wagener hooklet undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust resistance. The slender shaft allows for an unobstructed view under surgical magnification, while the ergonomic solid handle ensures a secure, non-slip grip. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring that the 90-degree angle and buttoned tip provide the exact tactile feedback required for successful surgical outcomes.
Surgical Applications
- Foreign Body Removal: The buttoned tip allows the surgeon to safely hook behind objects in the ear canal to extract them without pushing them deeper.
- Tympanoplasty: Highly effective for the precise repositioning of tympanic membrane grafts (fascia or perichondrium).
- Middle Ear Exploration: Used to gently probe or retract micro-structures to assess mobility or identify pathology.
Care and Maintenance Section
To preserve the delicate finish and buttoned tip, this instrument should be cleaned using soft-bristled brushes to remove biological debris before sterilization. It is fully autoclavable and resistant to repeated processing cycles. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
