The 6 5 16 Pick 1.5mm Angled from Tip is a specialized surgical pick designed for precise work in ENT and otologic procedures. With an overall length of 6 5/16 inches (approximately 16 cm), the instrument provides a practical balance between reach, control, and maneuverability. The 1.5mm working tip is angled from the tip to support accurate positioning in areas where a straight pick may provide less convenient access.
This style of pick is commonly associated with delicate ear surgery and microsurgical instrumentation. The documented Pilling configuration is listed as a 1.5mm pick angled from the tip, 6 5/16 inches (16 cm), while the corresponding reusable instrument is also cataloged as a 6 5/16-inch pick with a 1.5mm angled tip.
The angled tip is an important design feature because it changes the working orientation at the distal end while allowing the surgeon to maintain a comfortable position along the instrument shaft. This can assist with controlled access to small or difficult-to-reach anatomical structures. The 1.5mm tip provides a defined working point for delicate manipulation where precision is more important than broad tissue engagement.
Its approximately 16 cm overall length offers sufficient reach for professional ENT instrumentation while maintaining the tactile control required for fine surgical movements. The slim working profile can be particularly useful when operating within restricted spaces, where larger instruments may interfere with visualization or surrounding structures.
The instrument can be incorporated into otology, ENT, and microsurgical instrument sets where a fine angled pick is required. Depending on the surgical technique, it may be used for delicate tissue manipulation, positioning, elevation, or other controlled maneuvers performed with a pointed surgical instrument. The exact clinical application should always be determined by the surgeon and the applicable procedure protocol.
The reusable configuration is intended for repeated clinical use when appropriately maintained. After each procedure, the working tip should be carefully cleaned and inspected for retained debris, deformation, or damage. Because the tip is fine and precisely formed, appropriate handling during cleaning, storage, and sterilization is important for maintaining its intended performance.
The 6 5/16″ Pick 1.5mm Angled from Tip is therefore a practical choice for professional ENT and otologic instrument collections. Its 1.5mm working point, angled distal configuration, and 16 cm length provide a specialized combination for controlled manipulation during delicate surgical procedures.
