Micro Ear Needle, Straight, 0.3–0.6 mm

## Overview

The Micro Ear Needle is a micro ear needle used for fine manipulation of tissue in otologic (middle-ear) microsurgery. This listing represents the complete Micro Ear Needle product family, offered as a configurable range of variations that share a common design and differ in defined, printed characteristics. It is classified under Surgical Needles › Micro Ear Needle and is intended for use by trained surgical and clinical personnel. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer catalog; characteristics that are not stated in the catalog are omitted rather than assumed.

## Instrument Class and Clinical Role

Micro ear needles belong to the family of fine otologic microsurgical instruments used within the confined space of the middle ear. Under the operating microscope they are used to palpate, elevate and manipulate delicate structures. Instruments of this class are defined by very fine working diameters and precise tip geometry, and are handled with micro-instrument technique.

## Design and Configuration

Available diameter options are 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.6 mm. The range of diameters corresponds to the degree of dilation or the calibre required, allowing the instrument to be matched to the anatomy. All items in this listing share a total length of 160 mm, a straight profile, and a sharp tip.

## Configuration Options

This is a configurable (variable) product. A specific item is selected by choosing from the available diameter options listed above; the family comprises 4 variations in total. The individual configurations are: Micro Ear Needle, Ø 0.3 mm (reference OG070R); Micro Ear Needle, Ø 0.4 mm (reference OG071R); Micro Ear Needle, Ø 0.5 mm (reference OG072R); Micro Ear Needle, Ø 0.6 mm (reference OG073R). Each configuration maps to a unique Aesculap catalog reference so that the exact item can be ordered without ambiguity.

## Technical Specifications

The following specifications are recorded for this listing. Instrument Type: Micro Ear Needle. Category: Surgical Needles. Subcategory: Micro Ear Needle. Length: 160 mm. Curvature: straight. Tip: sharp. Available Diameter: 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.6 mm. Variation Count: 4. Family ID: FAM-000046.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a micro ear needle used for fine manipulation of tissue in otologic (middle-ear) microsurgery, the Micro Ear Needle is applied in otologic (ENT) procedures. The scope described here is limited to the definitional function of the instrument class; the specific procedures, techniques and patient selection for which the instrument is appropriate are a matter of clinical judgement and institutional protocol and should be determined by the operating clinician. No performance, outcome or suitability claims are made beyond the instrument’s stated design.

## Material, Finish and Reprocessing

The manufacturer catalog data underlying this listing does not state the material, surface finish or reprocessing parameters for the item, and these are therefore not asserted here. Confirm material specifications, compatibility and validated reprocessing instructions with the supplier or manufacturer documentation before purchase or use.

## Procurement and Standardisation

Because every item is identified by a stable Aesculap catalog reference number, this listing supports consistent reordering and inventory standardisation across an operating department. Recording the pattern name together with the reference number allows procurement teams to match replacement stock to instruments already in service and to compare like-for-like items between suppliers. Availability, minimum order requirements and lead times are confirmed on inquiry.

## Ordering and Procurement

This product is available in multiple configurations; refer to the individual variations for exact specifications and catalog reference numbers. Pricing is not published on this platform, which operates on an inquiry (request-a-quote) basis. To proceed, request a quote or send an inquiry and our team will confirm current availability, the exact configuration and lead times. This listing is intended for hospitals, surgical centers, procurement teams, distributors and dealers.
