An ear snare is a reusable surgical tool used in ENT procedures to remove tissue, such as tumors or damaged areas, from the ear. It features a loop mechanism that securely grasps tissue before cutting it mechanically—without electrical ablation—during operations like ear canal or tympanic membrane surgery.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet safety and performance standards for reusable medical tools. They are supplied sterile or require sterilization before use, adhering to strict infection control protocols for surgical environments.
