A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to manipulate middle ear tissue or structures during ear/nose/throat (ENT) surgery. It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and consists of a handle proximally and a flat blunt blade (no sharp edges) at the distal tip. Progressing from the handle to the distal tip the shaft or the blade may be straight, curved, or turn at various angles. This is a reusable device.
