V. Mueller AU13752 Paparella Straight ENT Instrument No.6 Malleable 6.5"

V. Mueller Paparella Straight Instrument No. 6 | AU13752 | Malleable 6.5" ENT

The V. Mueller AU13752 is a specialized microsurgical tool from the renowned Paparella otologic series. Designed for high-precision manipulation within the tympanic cavity, the No. 6 Straight Instrument is distinguished by its heavy malleable shaft. This unique feature allows the surgeon to hand-contour the instrument to navigate around the unique anatomical obstructions of a patient's ear canal or ossicular chain, providing a custom "line of sight" that rigid instruments cannot achieve.

Forged from surgical-grade stainless steel with a specialized tempering process, this instrument retains its structural integrity through repeated bending and sterilization cycles, making it a "workhorse" for chronic ear surgery and mastoidectomy.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: V. Mueller (Cardinal Health)

• Finish: Satin (Reduces glare under high-magnification microscopes)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Malleable Customization: The "heavy malleable" shaft is designed to be bent by the surgeon to reach recessed areas of the middle ear or mastoid bowl. Unlike thinner wires, this shaft holds its shape firmly once set, ensuring stable manipulation of tissue or prosthetics.

• Straight No. 6 Tip: The fine precision tip is optimized for the "straight-in" approach, ideal for elevating the tympanomeatal flap or displacing small cholesteatoma fragments.

• Microsurgical Ergonomics: At 6.5 inches, the instrument is balanced for a "pencil-grip," allowing the surgeon’s hand to remain steady and outside the primary visual field of the ear speculum.

• Non-Reflective Satin Finish: Critical for microsurgery, the satin finish prevents harsh light "flash" from high-intensity xenon or LED microscope sources, significantly reducing eye fatigue during long operative cases.

• Durable Monolithic Construction: Despite its malleability, the stainless steel alloy is engineered to withstand the mechanical stress of re-shaping and the thermal rigors of repeated autoclaving without loss of tensile strength.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Excellent Condition.

• Physical Inspection: This instrument has been meticulously maintained. The malleable shaft remains fluid and responsive without stress fractures, and the No. 6 tip is perfectly intact and free of burrs.

• Sterilization Ready: The AU13752 is shipped non-sterile and is fully compatible with standard steam (autoclave) and ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization protocols used in modern surgical facilities.
