Product Overview

The Micro Ear Needle, slightly curved, 160 mm (6 1/4"), Ø 0.30 mm, sharp is an otology instrument configured for the supplied indication of Ear Microsurgery. It combines a sharp needle geometry with an overall length of 160 mm (6 1/4") and a diameter of 0.30 mm. The stated dimensions define the physical size of the needle and provide the key identification points for selecting this configuration. The needle type and geometry should be considered together when matching the instrument to the intended microsurgical application.

Needle Design and Configuration

The needle uses a slightly curved construction with sharp geometry. The body profile is an important part of the instrument's physical configuration, while the curvature describes the path formed by the needle. The 0.30 mm diameter provides the stated cross-sectional dimension, and the 160 mm overall length defines the full longitudinal size of the instrument. For this configuration, the supplied dimensional information should be used when selecting the needle for a specific surgical instrument set or procedural requirement. No additional body, tip, or dimensional characteristics are added beyond the supplied product specifications. The tip profile is specified as sharp, which identifies the working-end profile supplied for this micro ear needle. The combination of sharp geometry, sharp tip profile, 160 mm length, and 0.30 mm diameter describes the principal physical characteristics of the instrument.

Dimensions and Identification

The overall length is 160 mm, equivalent to 6 1/4". The needle diameter is 0.30 mm. The body is identified as slightly curved and the geometry as sharp. The supplied product data does not include a figure/size designation for this configuration.

Surgical Applications

The supplied indication for this instrument is Ear Microsurgery. Within that context, the stated needle geometry, length, diameter, and tip profile define the physical configuration to be considered when selecting the instrument. Product selection should follow the procedure requirements and the healthcare facility's established instrument protocols.

Handling and Care

As a reusable surgical instrument, this needle should be handled carefully during use, transport, cleaning, inspection, maintenance, packaging, and reprocessing. The sharp geometry and 0.30 mm diameter should be considered during inspection so that the physical configuration remains consistent with the intended instrument specification. Before use, the instrument should be inspected according to the healthcare facility's validated procedures. After use, cleaning and reprocessing should follow the facility's established and validated protocols for reusable surgical instruments. Appropriate inspection should include checking the needle's overall condition and confirming that its stated geometry and working-end configuration remain suitable for use. Packaging and sterilization should be performed according to the healthcare facility's validated procedures and applicable requirements.
