Wullstein Micro Ear Needle

## Overview

The Wullstein Micro Ear Needle is a Wullstein micro ear needle used for fine manipulation of tissue in otologic (middle-ear) microsurgery. It carries the Wullstein pattern, a named instrument pattern within the surgical needles range. This listing represents a single catalog item supplied under one Aesculap reference. 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.

## Pattern and Identification

This instrument is supplied in the Wullstein pattern. Within a surgical inventory, the pattern name together with the Aesculap catalog reference number uniquely identifies the item, which supports accurate reordering and standardisation across a department. The catalog reference for this item is OG006R.

## Design and Configuration

All items in this listing share a total length of 160 mm, a diameter of 0.3 mm, a slightly curved profile, and a sharp tip.

## Technical Specifications

The following specifications are recorded for this listing. Pattern / Eponym: Wullstein. Instrument Type: Micro Ear Needle. Category: Surgical Needles. Subcategory: Micro Ear Needle. Length: 160 mm. Diameter: 0.3 mm. Curvature: slightly curved. Tip: sharp. Family ID: FAM-000045.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a Wullstein micro ear needle used for fine manipulation of tissue in otologic (middle-ear) microsurgery, the Wullstein 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 item is ordered by its Aesculap catalog reference (OG006R). 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 and lead times.
