Clinical Application
Designed for controlled removal of nasal polyps and intranasal tissue during ENT procedures. The instrument provides secure grasping of polypoid tissue within the nasal cavity and is suitable for use in open or endonasal polypectomy, clinic-based removal under local anesthesia, and intraoperative polyp management during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Its slender profile facilitates access to narrow intranasal corridors while permitting tactile feedback for controlled traction and detachment.
Design & Configuration
The ring-handle format provides precise one-handed manipulation and secure grip control. A slender, straight shaft allows deep intranasal reach without obstructing the surgical field; the 18 cm length balances reach with tactile responsiveness. Cup-shaped or fenestrated jaws are configured to cradle polyp tissue and reduce slippage, enabling atraumatic engagement and reliable retrieval through confined nasal passages.
