The ends of the wirepassing down the tube are fastened to a pin on the upper partof the slide (c), below which is a ring, by which traction canbe made. The instrument is better than Wildes, because itcan be turned in any direction without injuring the walls ofthe canal. A paracentesis needle may also be used in the han-dle, but it should be rather longer than the one in the ion of Wildes Snare, with Paracentesis Needle. Scissors may sometimes be used with advantage to removeaural polypi. I have found those that are here representedvery convenient, especially for the removal of growths fromthe walls of the auditory canal.
