Key Features:

Self-retaining design, eliminating the need for manual retraction
Funnel-shaped or curved blades to straighten the external auditory canal and hold the cartilaginous portion wide apart
Allows for improved visualization of the tympanic membrane and surrounding structures
Can be used in tympanoplasty and stapes surgery, particularly

Advantages:

Simplifies the surgical procedure by reducing the need for manual retraction
Enhances visualization of the operative field, facilitating precise surgical techniques
Reduces the risk of accidental dislodgement or damage to surrounding tissues
