TUBE, STENT AND COLLAR INSERTION DEVICE

摘要

A surgical device and method designed to make insertion of pressure equalization tubes for effusion of the inner ear faster, more reliable, and safer by combining the placement of the pressure equalization tube with suction of the inner ear, decreasing the number of instruments and instrument passes into and out of the ear canal. A surgical insertion tool permits the direct coaxial insertion of the stent through the surgically created ostium, and which may be under direct, clear endoscopic control.
