Hartmann ear forceps
A thin, long forceps with small alligator-style jaws, designed to work with precision inside the narrow ear canal.
How it is used
Used to remove foreign bodies, impacted cerumen, and granulation tissue from the external auditory canal, and to manipulate material in the middle ear.
Clinical tip
The short alligator-style jaws grip small fragments without obstructing the full visual field of the canal.
