Ear Polypus Snares
A polypus snare uses a fine wire loop to encircle and remove a polyp at its base. Medfort ear polypus snares are made to the classic Krause and Krause-Voss patterns, and come with replacement snare wire (codes SI-090701 to SI-090706).
Where they are used
They are used for removing aural polyps from the ear canal and middle ear, and nasal polyps in ENT clinics and theatres.

Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
Open-tip snares make it easier to place the loop around the polyp. Closed-tip snares give a more controlled cut. Keep a supply of snare wire, because the wire should be replaced after each use.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Care and sterilization
Rinse instruments straight after use so blood and tissue do not dry on. Open all joints, then clean them by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Rinse, dry thoroughly and lubricate hinges with instrument milk. All items are suitable for standard steam sterilization (autoclave). Inspect them regularly, and repair or replace any that are worn or damaged.
