ASSI AWF1221 Micro Ear Forceps Serrated Jaw Straight 1.6x7.0mm ENT 5-3/8"

ASSI AWF1221 5-3/8" Micro Ear Forceps (7.0mm x 1.6mm Serrated)

The ASSI AWF1221 is a high-performance ENT instrument engineered for maximum security when grasping materials within the ear canal and middle ear. Unlike standard micro-alligators, this model features an extended 7.0 mm jaw length, providing nearly double the surface contact of traditional forceps. This makes it the "go-to" tool for retrieving elongated foreign bodies, manipulating large organic debris, or placing medicated ear wicks where a shorter tip might lose its purchase.

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel by Accurate Surgical & Scientific Instruments (ASSI), the AWF1221 features a slender, wire-actuated shaft that ensures the jaws operate smoothly without obstructing the surgeon’s line of sight. The 1.6 mm jaw width is carefully balanced to provide structural strength for high-torque extractions while maintaining the low profile necessary for use under an operating microscope or through an ear speculum.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Maximum Surface Tension: The 7.0 mm serrated jaws allow the surgeon to grasp a larger portion of the target material, significantly reducing the risk of "fragmenting" soft foreign bodies during removal.

• Deep-Field Reach: The 5-3/8" frame provides the necessary leverage and length to reach the tympanic membrane in adult patients while maintaining high tactile sensitivity.

• Unobstructed Visualization: The ultra-slim tubular shaft is designed to stay below the visual horizon, ensuring a clear view of the operative site at all times.

• ASSI "Professional-Grade" Build: Known for tight tolerances and high-quality internal springs, ASSI instruments maintain their jaw alignment and "snap" through years of clinical use.
