Named after Dr. Otto Gross, a pioneer in otologic instrumentation, the Gross Ear Spoon and Hook is a staple in ENT toolkits for decades. Also known simply as a Blunt Gross Ear Curette, this instrument is favored for its atraumatic design, making it a safer alternative to sharper instruments when working with sensitive structures.
