Luc/Bruenings Nasal Turbinate Fcps Fig.3, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in rhinology and general ENT procedures, this forceps provides controlled grasping and manipulation of inferior and middle turbinate tissue during turbinate reduction, partial resection, outfracture, and as an adjunct during septoplasty or FESS procedures. The instrument facilitates precise tissue control in the confined intranasal space, aiding excision, repositioning and delivering consistent purchase on mucosal and submucosal tissue while minimizing slippage during cutting or cautery steps.

Design & Configuration

The 19 cm overall length provides extended reach into the nasal cavity while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. The Figure 3 jaw geometry is configured to secure turbinate tissue with a controlled, atraumatic hold appropriate for delicate sinonasal mucosa. A slim shaft and narrow profile reduce obstruction of the surgical field and improve visualization when working alongside endoscopes. Ergonomic hand control supports precise single-handed manipulation required in endonasal procedures.
