Hough Stapedial Footplate Auger: Precision Otologic Instrumentation

The Hough stapedial footplate auger is a specialized otologic instrument designed for precise manipulation during middle ear surgery. Featuring a straight shaft and a hexagonal handle, this tool ensures stable grip and controlled rotation essential for delicate procedures. With a drill size of 0.8mm and a shaft length of 15.0mm, it offers the accuracy required for fenestration or stapedotomy techniques. The 4-inch overall length provides optimal reach without compromising maneuverability in confined surgical fields. This instrument supports surgeons in achieving consistent results while minimizing tissue trauma during complex auditory interventions.

• Performing stapedotomy procedures to treat conductive hearing loss
• Creating precise openings in the stapes footplate
• Facilitating prosthesis placement during ossicular chain reconstruction
• Executing controlled drilling in confined middle ear spaces

Specifications
