Middle ear malleus nipper (A hand-held manual surgical instrument intended to be used to cut the malleus (hammer-shaped lateral bone of the group of three that form the sound-transmitting ossicles in the middle ear). It is typically a ring-handled instrument with, distal to a pivot pin, a set of blades: one slides back and forth to operate a set of jaws for cutting, and the other is stationary and may end in a sharpened anvil or a hook. In the anvil design, the sliding blade opens and closes a second sharpened blade against the anvil. In the hook design, the sliding blade closes against the hook. This is a reusable device.)
