Hoffman Ear Forceps – Oval Jaws

The Hoffman Ear Forceps in the oval jaw pattern provides a wider grip footprint than the round variant (2.5 × 3.5 mm versus 2.5 mm round), which matters when the target is elongated or flat rather than spherical. Tympanomeatal flap margins, ribbon-like granulation tissue and thin foreign bodies all present a shape that an oval jaw conforms to more naturally than a round one.

At 8 cm working length the instrument operates through a standard ear speculum. Jaw closure is smooth and progressive, letting the surgeon modulate grip force by feel rather than relying on a ratchet lock.
