What a Malleus Nipper Does
The malleus is the first of the three small bones of hearing. In cholesteatoma surgery, in a fixed malleus head, and in ossiculoplasty, part of it has to be removed. A malleus nipper cuts the bone in small controlled bites instead of drilling close to the other ossicles.
Choosing the Cutting Direction
- Up — The cutting jaw opens and cuts upward. It is used when the part of the malleus to be cut lies above the line of the shaft.
- Down — The cutting jaw opens and cuts downward. It is used when the part of the malleus to be cut lies below the line of the shaft.
- Right — The cutting jaw is turned to the right. It reaches bone to the right of the shaft without swinging the instrument across the view.
- Left — The cutting jaw is turned to the left. It reaches bone to the left of the shaft without swinging the instrument across the view.
The direction you need depends on the ear and how the malleus sits in your view, so many surgeons buy all four.

Care and Sterilization
Use nippers on bone only. Never cut wire, prosthesis material or needles with them — that nicks the edges. Clean the instrument straight after use, before blood and tissue dry on the tip. Use a soft brush and an ultrasonic cleaner, rinse, and dry fully. Put a drop of instrument lubricant on the joint before sterilizing. Steam autoclave at up to 134°C in a tray with a silicone mat or tip guard, so the fine tip never knocks against other instruments. Check the tip under magnification at every cycle.
