Middle ear file/rasp instruments are handheld surgical tools with grooved or serrated tips designed to carefully remove or smooth bony growths in the middle ear. Clinicians use them during ENT or plastic surgery to address conditions like cholesteatoma or ossicular chain reconstruction, ensuring precise bone shaping without damaging surrounding tissues.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable metals like stainless steel or titanium, and are regulated as surgical instruments. They may be supplied sterile or require sterilization between uses, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications and local medical practice standards.
