The ENT 5″ House Gelfoam Press 16×12mm Plate is a specialized surgical instrument developed for ENT surgeons and otologists who require accurate preparation of absorbable gelatin sponges (Gelfoam) during microsurgical procedures. Designed with precision and efficiency in mind, this instrument helps create uniformly compressed Gelfoam pieces for controlled placement within delicate surgical sites.
Featuring a 16×12mm precision pressing plate, the House Gelfoam Press evenly compresses Gelfoam to the desired thickness without damaging its structural integrity. Uniform preparation allows surgeons to achieve consistent packing, improved handling, and more precise placement during otologic and ENT procedures.
The 5-inch overall length provides excellent balance, maneuverability, and ergonomic handling. Its compact design allows the instrument to fit comfortably in the surgeon’s hand while offering precise control during Gelfoam preparation. The smooth operating mechanism ensures consistent compression with minimal effort, making it suitable for repeated use throughout surgical procedures.
The House Gelfoam Press is widely used during tympanoplasty, myringoplasty, ossiculoplasty, mastoidectomy, cholesteatoma surgery, stapedectomy, middle ear reconstruction, and other ENT microsurgical procedures. It assists in preparing Gelfoam for hemostatic support, tissue protection, cushioning, and stabilization of graft materials when clinically indicated.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Precision machining ensures accurate alignment of the pressing plates, while the satin matte finish minimizes glare under surgical lighting and allows for easy cleaning after use.
The ergonomic handle design provides a secure grip and precise control, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive instrument handling. Its robust construction maintains performance and alignment even after repeated sterilization cycles in demanding surgical environments.
The ENT 5″ House Gelfoam Press 16×12mm Plate is fully autoclavable and reusable, making it an economical and dependable addition to professional ENT and otology instrument sets. It meets the high standards required in hospitals, surgical centers, and specialty ENT clinics where precision and reliability are essential.
Designed for modern microsurgical practice, this instrument provides surgeons with an efficient method for preparing Gelfoam consistently, contributing to improved workflow and surgical precision during delicate ENT procedures.
