Bionex Tilley Ear Forceps, Stainless Steel

The Bionex Tilley Ear Forceps is a fine, elongated stainless steel instrument built for grasping and handling small pieces of material within the ear canal, a task that requires an instrument narrow and long enough to reach the target area without obstructing the clinician's view. Its cross action jaws close when the handles are squeezed together, giving a controlled grip that can be released precisely, which is useful when removing a foreign body, small piece of wax or debris from deep within the canal.

Because the ear canal is narrow and curved, the Tilley pattern's slim profile and secure jaw action make it a preferred choice over broader general purpose forceps for this specific anatomical area. Made from stainless steel, the forceps is autoclavable and built to withstand the repeated sterilisation cycles expected of reusable ENT instruments used across many patients in a clinical setting.

ENT specialists, general practitioners and specialist nurses running ear care clinics rely on Tilley forceps as a standard part of their ear examination and minor procedure instrument set. As with other reusable stainless steel instruments, it should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised between each use.
