Why Are ENT Instruments Important?

ENT is a procedure and instrument heavy specialty. Whether it’s an OPD examination, a ward procedure, or an OT case, you’re constantly expected to recognize instruments, describe their parts, and state their indications clearly—especially during practicals and vivas.

From basic examination tools like the head mirror, ear speculum, and tuning forks, to operative instruments used in tonsillectomy, septoplasty, FESS, and mastoid surgery, knowing your instruments is non-negotiable.

A strong grasp of ENT instruments helps you:

• Perform examinations correctly
• Assist confidently in OT
• Answer instrument based viva questions without hesitation

Here you’ll find high-yield notes on:

• Basic ENT examination instruments
