Thin slices of cartilage are used in the plastic reconstruction of tympanic membrane (Myringoplasty), auditory canal and for covering middle ear prostheses in tympanoplasty.
In contrast to the KURZ® Precise Cartilage Knife (REF 8000 155), which produces cartilage slices of a defined thickness (0.1 - 0.7 mm), the cartilage forceps is used for the plastic reconstruction of small tympanic membrane defects.
The cartilage forceps allows work to proceed efficiently by enabling fast, precise and simple intraoperative production of small cartilage slices.
A piece of cartilage is held between the enlarged, rectangular jaws of the forceps while using a scalpel to divide it. The result is two thin slices of cartilage, which can be further divided if required.
