SurgicalOnline Alligator Ear Forceps are a non-ratcheted, finger ring, ENT instrument commonly used for debridement and removing debris from the ear. These forceps are named after the German physician Arthur SurgicalOnline medical forceps for removing foreign bodies. A common name also is "Crocodile forceps". Alligator forceps are surgi-instruments that are great for grasping small objects or removing items from small cavities in the body. The instrument has a long shaft that is set at a 45-degree angle to the grip, and a small set of serrated jaws at the tip. The jaws bear resemblance to the snout of an alligator, giving rise to the name of the tool. When not in use, the serrated jaws remain open and only close when the handles are squeezed. This function allows for the forceps to be inserted into a small cavity, to partially open, and to then be closed on a lodged object, holding the object with a consistent application of pressure. The ability to fine tune the amount of pressure applied, combined with the long reach of the tool, makes the forceps ideal for removing foreign bodies or for moving sterile dressings in a hard-to-reach area after surgi-procedures. This instrument is made from Premium Stainless Steel that is tarnish free, corrosion resistant and fully autoclavable. It is easy to clean and re use in the clinical environment.
