V. Mueller AU17215 Sheehy Ossicle Holding Forceps 4x5 Teeth 4-3/4"

V. Mueller AU17215 Sheehy Ossicle Holding Forceps | 4x5 Teeth | 4-3/4"

The V. Mueller AU17215 is a highly specialized microsurgical instrument designed for the ultimate precision required in otologic surgery. Specifically engineered for the Sheehy technique, these forceps feature a delicate 4x5 teeth configuration on a miniaturized jaw, providing a secure, non-slip grip on the ossicles (malleus, incus, or stapes) or synthetic prostheses.

With an overall length of 4-3/4 inches (12.1 cm) and an ultra-slim profile, these forceps allow the surgeon to manipulate microscopic structures within the confined space of the middle ear without obstructing the view through the surgical microscope. The 4x5 intermeshing teeth ensure that even the smallest bone fragments or hydroxyapatite implants are held firmly during shaping, drilling, or placement.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Secure 4x5 Tooth Pattern: The specialized intermeshing teeth provide multiple points of contact, allowing for a firm grip on the irregular surfaces of the ossicular chain while minimizing the risk of "crushing" delicate bone.

• Microsurgical Precision: The slim, tapered shanks are designed to work within the narrow diameter of an ear speculum, ensuring the instrument does not "crowd" the ear canal during complex tympanoplasty or stapedectomy.

• High Tactile Sensitivity: Balanced perfectly at 4-3/4 inches, these forceps provide the surgeon with immediate feedback, which is critical when handling the smallest bones in the human body.

• German-Engineered Box Lock: Features a precision-machined box joint that ensures the jaws remain perfectly aligned, preventing "scissor-slip" and ensuring the teeth meet accurately every time.

• Glare-Reducing Finish: Finished with a specialized satin coating to prevent "flash-back" or glare under the intense light of a surgical microscope, reducing eye fatigue for the surgical team.
