  • Publication number: 20240122669
    Abstract: An ear canal clamp for small animals includes a base and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes two clamping arms movably mounted on the base, a biasing member mounted on the base and constrained between the clamping arms, and two ear canal positioning members mounted respectively to the clamping arms and facing each other. The clamping arms are configured to move toward each other and compress the biasing member to increase the distance between the ear canal positioning members. A biasing force generated by the biasing member when compressed is used to push the clamping arms to move oppositely with respect to each other.
