Precision House Incudostapedial Joint Knife for Otologic Surgery

The House incudostapedial joint knife is a specialized otologic instrument designed for the precise separation of the incudostapedial joint during middle ear surgery. Featuring a straight shaft with a distinct 60-degree angled blade, this tool allows surgeons to navigate tight anatomical spaces with exceptional control. The 0.75mm wide hexagonal blade ensures clean cuts while minimizing tissue trauma, making it an essential component in stapes replacement procedures and ossicular chain reconstruction. Its ergonomic design supports steady handling, reducing surgeon fatigue during delicate microsurgical interventions in operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers.

• Separation of the incudostapedial joint during stapedectomy or stapedotomy procedures
