New Myringotomy Incision System Gives Surgeon Options

Eagan, Minnesota – January 12, 2005 - Micromedics, a privately held manufacturer of medical devices, introduces an innovative blade and handle design that gives surgeons more flexibility in performing myringotomy surgery. With the new design, surgeons can choose from five cutting edge configurations, including the patented Armstrong design, to produce the preferred size and type of incision. A flexible shaft allows the surgeon to vary the angle of the blade as needed for superior visibility and access to the surgical site. The new blades can be used with existing handles.
