Dingman Otobrader

Description

The Dingman Otobrader is a specialist surgical device used for ear treatments, notably cartilage. It is used in both reconstructive and cosmetic operations.

Purpose:

• Scoring Ear Cartilage: The Dingman Otobrader is primarily used to score or weaken stiff ear cartilage. This scoring helps the physician to efficiently rearrange the cartilage during otoplasty, which is a surgical technique used to treat large ears.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Beyond otoplasty, the Otobrader’s capacity to accurately manipulate cartilage makes it valuable in face reconstructive surgery. Surgeons may use it to mold and reshape soft tissue for the desired results.

Design:

• Variations: The Dingman Otobrader is available in a variety of designs..
• Material: Typically made of stainless steel, the Otobrader is durable and may be sanitized for several applications.
• Grasp and Maneuverability: The handle of an Otobrader is often constructed for a tight grasp, with some including hexagonal or bulky designs to avoid sliding during operation. A slim, curving neck provides easy access to sensitive parts of the ear.

Benefits:

• Effective Cartilage Reshaping: The Otobrader allows the surgeon to get the desired shape for the ear by scoring the cartilage in a controlled manner.
• Improved Cosmetic Results: In otoplasty, this means efficiently putting projecting ears closer to the skull, which improves face aesthetics.
• Functional Advantages: Otoplasty using the Otobrader may increase comfort for those who wear glasses by producing a better fit behind the ears.
• Applications in Reconstructive Surgery: The Otobrader’ s ability to precisely treat soft tissue is useful in reconstructive surgeries as well.
