Snare Wire

Snare Wires assist surgeons to treat diseases in the nose and ear. For instance, they help remove soft nose polyps that cause discharge or infection. They can also remove ear polyps. Surgeons pass a wire loop from one of our multiple snares to clamp the necks of these masses. This crushing action prevents bleeding after excision which can affect hearing or breathing.

The size of this wire is 100 cm and it has a uniform thickness of 0.3 mm. In addition, wires with a diameter of 0.4 mm are also available for more obstinate pathologies.

The Snare Wires allow easy introduction in our polypus snares. Furthermore, the blunt nature of the wire enables crushing closures that reduce bleeding after soft polyp removal.

Start by moving the open tip of the snare near the polyp. Then, pass the wire loop through the tip around the mass’s neck. Finally, close the wire around the neck firmly using the thumb ring on the handle.

We made the outer edges of the tip with a blunt surface to prevent tissue injury. In addition, the tip has a straight neck so you can see it easily.

You can use this snare wire with our Krause Polypus Snare. It is 26 cm long and has a slender shaft to reach deep polyps. In addition, it has a width of 3 mm in order for you to pass wire loops over small masses. For wide loops, you can use the Krause-Voss Polypus Snares as they have closed tips.

Instruments manufacture snare wires from resilient stainless steel materials that guarantee durability and reliability in polypectomy procedures.
