V. Mueller AU12452 House Stapes Curette Double Ended 7" Oval Cups ENT

V. Mueller House Stapes Curette | AU12452 | Double-Ended | 7" Oval Cups | ENT

The V. Mueller AU12452 is a premier microsurgical instrument specifically engineered for delicate otologic procedures, including stapedectomy, ossiculoplasty, and mastoidectomy. As a foundational "House-style" instrument, this curette features a double-ended design with precision-machined oval cups and robust angled shafts. This geometry allows surgeons to navigate the tight confines of the middle ear to remove bone or pathological tissue near the stapes and facial nerve with extreme tactile sensitivity.

Forged from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the AU12452 provides the rigid, non-flexing performance required for controlled curettage of the bony annulus or the removal of small osteophytes without compromising surrounding delicate structures.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: V. Mueller (Cardinal Health)

• Model / REF: AU12452

• Instrument Type: House Stapes Curette

• Tip Configuration: Double-Ended Oval Cups

• Overall Length: 7 1/8 Inches (18.1 cm)

• Shaft Design: Strong Angled (for superior visualization)

• Material: Medical-grade Stainless Steel

• Finish: Satin (Minimizes glare under high-magnification operative microscopes)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Oval Cup Geometry: The sharp-edged oval cups are specifically sized for the microscopic scale of ear anatomy, providing efficient bone removal while maintaining a clear line of sight under the surgical microscope.

• Dual-Angled Versatility: Featuring two different working angles on a single handle, this curette allows the surgeon to quickly switch orientations to reach difficult anatomical corners without changing instruments.

• Superior Tactile Feedback: The solid stainless steel construction transmits subtle vibrations from the bone directly to the surgeon's hand, a critical requirement for working near the fragile stapes footplate.

• Balanced Ergonomics: At over 7 inches, the central handle is weighted for a stable "pencil-grip," ensuring the surgeon's hands remain outside the primary visual field of the ear speculum.

• Microsurgical Finish: The specialized satin finish is essential for ENT surgeons, as it prevents "light bounce" from high-intensity xenon or LED sources, reducing eye fatigue during long microsurgical cases.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Excellent Condition.

• Physical Inspection: This instrument has been meticulously maintained. The oval cup edges are sharp and free of nicks; the angled shafts are structurally sound with no signs of bending or stress fractures.
