The Stapes Pick 90° Tip 5 ½” is a specialized otologic surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation in procedures involving the middle ear and stapes region. Its 90° angled tip provides a defined working orientation that can assist with precise positioning in the confined operative field encountered during delicate ear surgery.
The 90° tip configuration allows the working end to approach tissue and structures from a perpendicular angle, supporting controlled contact and manipulation where a straight instrument may be less suitable. The compact 5 ½” overall length provides a practical balance between reach, visibility, and manual control for specialized otologic procedures.
This stapes pick may be used as part of an otology or ENT instrument set for stapes surgery and related middle-ear procedures where careful manipulation is required. Its narrow working profile is intended to support accurate instrument placement while minimizing unnecessary movement within the surgical field. The exact tip dimensions and working-end profile should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s specifications when a particular size is required.
For reusable versions, the instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and repeated clinical use. A smooth surgical finish supports routine cleaning and helps maintain the instrument’s surface condition. The working tip should be inspected carefully before each procedure to ensure that it remains properly aligned and free from damage or deformation.
Proper reprocessing is essential for reusable otologic instruments. Following use, the Stapes Pick should be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established protocol. If supplied as a reusable instrument, sterilization should be performed using the validated sterilization method recommended for the product. Appropriate handling during cleaning, sterilization, and storage helps preserve the precision of the angled tip.
The Stapes Pick 90° Tip 5 ½” is a useful addition to professional ENT and otology instrument collections requiring a precisely angled working end. Its 90° configuration, compact 5 ½” length, and controlled handling characteristics make it suitable for specialized stapes and middle-ear surgical applications.
