Weil-Blakesley Fcps Fig.5, 120mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

Figure-5 Weil-Blakesley forceps are designed for targeted grasping and extraction of soft tissue within the confined anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. They are commonly used in rhinology and endoscopic sinus surgery for polypectomy, removal of mucosal fragments or small foreign bodies, and controlled tissue manipulation in anterior and middle meatus regions. The instrument’s geometry facilitates secure retrieval while minimizing collateral trauma in tight operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The Figure 5 jaw pattern offers a specialized tip geometry that improves visualization and access inside narrow cavities. A slim shank and appropriately sized jaws allow the surgeon to reach posterior nasal passages with controlled wrist motion while maintaining a clear line of sight under endoscopic guidance. The forceps’ tip profile is optimized to deliver a secure grip on soft tissue and small specimens without excessive bulk, which is critical for atraumatic engagement and specimen retrieval.
