Ear snare

Definition

A hand-held manual surgical instrument intended to be inserted through the outer ear canal or through a surgical incision in the ear to remove tissue, typically tumorous or damaged tissue, from the ear during ear/nose/throat (ENT) surgery. It typically consists of a cannula-like tube with two stationary and one sliding finger rings designed to position and tighten a loop of thin, flexible wire (the snare) around the tissue to be removed. It is intended for mechanical cutting only (i.e., not through electrical ablation). This is a reusable device.
