The Foot Plate Pick 5mm Tip Angled 45° 142mm is a specialized ENT and otologic surgical instrument designed for precise manipulation in delicate middle-ear procedures. Its angled working configuration provides controlled access to the surgical field, while the defined 5mm tip offers a practical working point for careful tissue and structure manipulation.
The 45° angled tip allows the instrument to approach the operative area at a controlled angle rather than directly along the shaft. This configuration can be useful when working within confined anatomical spaces where instrument positioning and visibility are important. The 5mm tip specification provides a clearly defined working dimension for selecting the appropriate instrument for a particular surgical technique.
With an overall length of 142mm, the Foot Plate Pick provides useful working reach while maintaining controlled handling. The extended length helps the surgeon position the working end accurately while keeping the hand away from the immediate operative field. This makes the instrument suitable for specialized otologic procedures where fine movements and careful positioning are required.
The instrument is intended for professional ENT and otology applications, including procedures involving the stapes and footplate region where a precision pick with an angled working end is appropriate. Its design supports controlled manipulation rather than forceful tissue handling. Exact clinical use should always follow the surgeon’s technique and the manufacturer’s specifications for the particular instrument.
For reusable versions, the Foot Plate Pick is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel selected for strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. A smooth surgical finish supports routine cleaning and maintenance. The fine working tip should be inspected before each procedure for bending, deformation, surface damage, or other signs of wear that could affect precision.
Proper cleaning and sterilization are essential for reusable otologic instruments. Following use, the Foot Plate Pick should be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. If supplied as reusable, it should be sterilized using the validated method recommended for the instrument. Careful storage can help protect the 45° tip from accidental damage.
The Foot Plate Pick 5mm Tip Angled 45° 142mm is a practical addition to professional otology and ENT instrument sets requiring controlled access and precise manipulation. Its 5mm tip, 45° angled configuration, and 142mm overall length provide a combination of reach, positioning, and manual control for specialized middle-ear surgical applications.
