Aesculap OG330R Micro Alligator Grasping Forceps Serrated ENT 6"

Aesculap OG330R 6" Micro Alligator Grasping Forceps (0.8mm x 3.5mm)

The Aesculap OG330R is a specialized micro-otology instrument engineered for high-precision grasping within the middle ear and narrow external auditory canal. Featuring an ultra-slender 80 mm working shaft, this alligator forceps allows for deep-field manipulation while preserving the surgeon's line of sight through an ear speculum or under an operating microscope. The straight, serrated jaws (0.8 mm x 3.5 mm) are specifically designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip on minute tissue fragments, displaced ossicles, or ventilation tubes.

Known for superior German engineering, the OG330R utilizes a delicate but robust internal wire-actuated mechanism that ensures the jaws open and close with perfect 1:1 tactile feedback. This level of control is essential for preventing accidental trauma to the tympanic membrane or the delicate mucosal lining of the middle ear during complex ENT procedures.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Micro-Profile Geometry: The 0.8 mm jaw width is one of the smallest in the industry, allowing for the retrieval of foreign bodies or PE tubes that are otherwise unreachable with standard-sized forceps.

• Non-Slip Serrations: Precision-milled teeth provide the mechanical "bite" required to pull dense cerumen or grasp slick silicone vent tubes without shedding material.

• Unobstructed Visualization: The long, thin shaft is designed to stay "below the horizon" of the surgical field, ensuring the surgeon's view of the tip remains clear at all times.

• Aesculap Longevity: Even in used condition, Aesculap instruments are prized for their hardened steel hinges that resist the "wobble" or misalignment common in lower-tier ENT tools.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The internal mechanism has been tested for smooth actuation. The jaws meet with perfect alignment and the serrations remain sharp.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including minor surface scuffs, light scratches, and typical sterilization-related patina. These do not impact the micro-precision or mechanical integrity of the forceps.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated ENT/Otology protocols prior to use.
