These hair plucking pliers are specially designed to remove hair from the ear canal. It is made of stainless steel and can be sterilized. A wider jaw, which features a groove milled inside, provides excellent access especially in the ear canal area and holds the hair securely. Hair plucking pliers are self-holding with clamping feature. Hair plucking pliers should be used regularly on dogs with droopy ears, as the droopy ear does not allow adequate ventilation of the interior of the ear and dirt and dead skin particles readily attach to the hair in the ear canal. This can lead to inflammations.
