Experience stable and secure endoscopic ear surgery without giving up a hand.

“Colibri™ has become an integral tool in our pediatric otology surgeries. Its intuitive ergonomics allow us to delegate more and more to our trainees as they take their first steps in endoscopic ear surgery.”

Clinical Challenges Today

OldEndoscope_Colibri-3NT-Medical

Microscopes work only within their “line of sight” and cannot visualize many hidden recesses.1 Consequently, healthy soft tissue is commonly removed and bone is drilled.2

Current endoscopic surgery requires a challenging single-hand dissection technique.3

Today’s endoscopes are large in diameter, heavy and longer than standard otology tools, and therefore, difficult to stabilize.4

Uniquely Designed for Ear Surgery

Colibri™ is purpose-built for the otologist, with stable, lightweight ergonomics allowing you to stabilize your hand against the patient’s head and keep the device precisely where you want it.

Colibri™ integrates a maneuverable suction, so you can enjoy endoscopic vision without sacrificing a hand.

Our miniature wide-angle view endoscope enables you to go into the ear and obtain close-up views minimizing resection and bone removal.

A 20° angled version of Colibri™ provides users with a wide forward view for intuitive orientation along with a thorough look around corners.

“I used Colibri™ in a revision cholesteatoma. I was able to endoscopically dissect the cholesteatoma from the hypotympanum with Colibri, while easily transitioning back to the microscope, as needed. It really made this case possible.”

Andrea Vambutas, MD, Chair of Otolaryngology
Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital
