The Stapedectomy Knife, 45° Angled, 6 1/2″ is a specialized ENT and otologic surgical instrument designed for precise cutting and controlled tissue manipulation during delicate ear procedures. It is particularly suited to surgical environments where accurate access to small anatomical structures and careful handling of tissue are essential.
The 45° angled configuration provides an offset working approach that can assist the surgeon in reaching structures within the middle ear while maintaining a comfortable hand position. This angled profile can also help improve the working angle in confined anatomical spaces, where a straight instrument may provide less convenient access.
With an overall length of 6 1/2 inches, the instrument provides useful reach while maintaining the control required for delicate otologic procedures. Its elongated design allows the working end to be positioned accurately while the user’s hand remains at a practical distance from the operative site.
The Stapedectomy Knife is intended for controlled incision rather than excessive force. Its precision-oriented working end supports careful tissue manipulation during appropriate stapedectomy and related middle-ear surgical procedures. The 45° angle is an important design feature for approaching the operative field from a controlled direction and may assist with visibility and positioning around delicate structures.
This instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel or another suitable medical-grade material. The material provides strength, corrosion resistance, and durability when the instrument is properly cleaned, maintained, and processed. The working end should be kept free from damage or deformation to preserve precise performance.
The Stapedectomy Knife, 45° Angled, 6 1/2″ is suitable for professional ENT, otology, and ear surgery instrument collections. Its specialized design makes it particularly valuable where fine control and access are required during delicate otologic procedures.
For reusable versions, proper instrument processing is essential. After use, the knife should be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions to remove biological material and surgical residue. It should then be thoroughly inspected for damage, corrosion, dulling, or deformation before sterilization. Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing protocol.
Proper storage also helps protect the precision working end from accidental impact or damage. Instruments should be handled carefully during cleaning, sterilization, and storage, particularly when used alongside other fine ENT instruments.
The Stapedectomy Knife, 45° Angled, 6 1/2″ combines specialized otologic functionality, an angled working profile, and practical instrument length for precise surgical access. It is a dependable choice for professional ENT and otologic settings requiring controlled incision and delicate tissue manipulation.
