Luc/Bruenings Nasal Turbinate Fcps Fig.2, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for intranasal procedures, this turbinate forceps is used to grasp, retract and excise turbinate tissue, mucosal strips and small specimens during rhinologic and endonasal surgery. The instrument is appropriate for turbinate reduction, turbinate outfracture preparation, biopsy retrieval and precise tissue handling in confined nasal cavities. Its length and jaw control facilitate work through narrow nares and alongside endoscopes.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 19 cm shaft provides reach into the posterior nasal cavity and improved access for deep intranasal work. The Fig. 2 jaw profile delivers controlled, atraumatic engagement of mucosal and submucosal tissue, allowing precise traction and removal while minimizing crush injury. The overall geometry balances shaft length and tip control so the surgeon can work comfortably around septal and turbinate anatomy in endoscopic or open approaches.
