Sklar Mathieu Foreign Body Forceps, Alligator
An alligator jawed forceps used to grasp and remove foreign bodies from the ear, nose or throat during ENT examination or procedures.
The Sklar Mathieu Foreign Body Forceps is designed to reach into a narrow body cavity, such as the ear canal, nasal passage or throat, and grasp a lodged foreign object so it can be withdrawn safely. The alligator style jaws open and close along a hinge near the tip, which lets the clinician get a precise, controlled bite on small or awkwardly positioned objects without needing a wide opening motion that could injure surrounding tissue.
This pattern is a common tool in ENT clinics, emergency departments and paediatric practices, where foreign body removal from the ear or nose is a frequent presentation, particularly in children. Otolaryngologists, emergency physicians and general practitioners use this forceps as part of their examination or minor procedure kit.
This listing covers two length variants sharing the same working length specification, giving clinicians options depending on the depth of access needed. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel and intended for repeated cleaning and sterilisation between patients.
