Clinical Application
Designed for otolaryngology and rhinologic procedures, these scissors provide controlled cutting and trimming of septal mucosa and cartilage. The instrument is suited to septoplasty, septal reconstruction and endonasal rhinoplasty tasks where precise excision or shaping of soft tissue and cartilage is required within a confined nasal cavity.
Design & Configuration
The angled shaft permits improved access and visualization deep in the nasal vault and along the caudal and posterior septum without excessive soft-tissue retraction. Serrated jaws stabilize cartilage and soft tissue during cutting to minimize slippage and improve control. The ring handles offer tactile feedback for deliberate, fine movements required in delicate septal work. A 20 cm shaft length balances reach and control for both open and endonasal approaches.
