Clinical Application
Designed for ENT procedures involving the nasal septum, this Cottle Walsham septum forceps provides controlled grasping and manipulation of septal tissue, cartilage fragments, and intranasal packing or splints. The 23 cm length gives added reach for deep intranasal access in adult patients and for working through specula or narrow surgical corridors commonly encountered in septoplasty and functional rhinoplasty.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s elongated shaft and aligned jaw geometry allow precise control of tissue at depth without excessive hand intrusion into the field. The balanced profile supports fine positional adjustments and stable delivery of materials (eg, splints, packing) while maintaining surgeon visibility. The Cottle Walsham pattern is chosen where extended reach and reliable grip are required during septal elevation, trimming, or stabilization maneuvers.
