The Pick, 3mm Curve from Tip, 6 5/16″ is a precision ENT surgical instrument designed for delicate manipulation during otologic and middle ear procedures. With an overall length of 6 5/16 inches (16 cm) and a 3mm curve from the tip, this pick provides a practical combination of reach, control, and access for work in confined anatomical areas. The exact Pilling catalog description specifies the instrument as a 3mm curve from the tip with a 6 5/16″ (16 cm) overall length.
The curved distal configuration allows the working tip to approach tissue and structures from a controlled angle. This can be particularly useful in otologic procedures where straight instruments may provide less convenient access. The instrument is categorized as a middle ear pick in the corresponding medical device record, supporting its use within specialized ear surgery instrumentation.
A 3mm curve from the tip provides a defined working profile while maintaining the slender, precise characteristics expected from a surgical pick. The curved end can assist with gentle elevation, positioning, manipulation, or removal of small material when appropriate to the surgical technique. Its use should always be determined by the qualified clinician based on the procedure and anatomical requirements.
The 6 5/16″ length provides sufficient working reach while remaining manageable for controlled hand manipulation. The 16 cm size is suitable for precision work where the surgeon requires access to a small operative field without using an unnecessarily long instrument. The dimensions also make it convenient for inclusion in ENT, otology, and microsurgical instrument trays.
The instrument is listed by BOSS Instruments as a reusable device under catalog number 90-3601, while the same dimensional configuration appears in the Teleflex/Pilling surgical instrument catalog as P26511.
For reusable surgical instrumentation, proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization are essential before reuse. After each procedure, the pick should be carefully cleaned according to the applicable validated processing instructions. The curved working tip should be inspected for bending, deformation, surface damage, or other defects that could affect precision. Proper handling and storage can help maintain the instrument’s working characteristics over repeated use.
The Pick, 3mm Curve from Tip, 6 5/16″ is therefore a useful addition to professional ENT and otologic instrument sets. Its compact 16 cm length and 3mm curved distal profile provide the controlled access and precision needed for delicate middle ear surgical applications.
