Clinical Application
Used in otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery to grasp, manipulate and reduce nasal cartilage and bone. The grooved jaw provides positive purchase on cartilage, small bone fragments and graft material, helping the surgeon control tissue during rhinoplasty, septoplasty, nasal osteotomy reduction and closed nasal fracture management. The instrument is intended for precise shaping, repositioning and temporary stabilization of nasal structures during dissection and reconstruction.
Design & Configuration
The 16 cm length balances reach and hand control for intra-nasal work and external nasal maneuvers. The Hackstock pattern with S/J configuration and a machined groove on the jaw concentrates holding force at the contact surface to reduce slippage of slippery or curved tissues. This geometry supports fine tactile feedback and controlled manipulation in confined nasal corridors where secure, localized grip is required.

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance and repeated reprocessing. Jaws are precision-machined to form a consistent groove profile that improves grip on cartilage and small bone edges. The instrument is designed for routine cleaning, sterilization and repeated clinical use.
