Clinical Application
Designed for ENT and minor sinus procedures, these swab forceps are used to place, reposition and remove swabs, packing materials and topical dressings within the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The extended working length facilitates access to deeper recesses while maintaining tactile control, making the instrument useful for office-based procedures, endoscopic-assisted cases and operating room pack management.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's elongated, slender shaft and narrow distal jaws allow precise manipulation in confined anatomy with minimal obstruction of the surgeon's view. A secure jaw geometry stabilizes swabs and packing without excessive compression, reducing the risk of shredding or fragmenting absorbent material during removal. The handpiece design supports controlled single-handed operation for placement and extraction tasks.
