Watson Williams Ethmoid Fcps 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in ethmoid and sinonasal surgery, this long-shaft forceps provides controlled grasping and manipulation of mucosa, small polyps, and soft tissue within the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. The 19 cm length facilitates reach to anterior and posterior ethmoid regions during endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and other otolaryngology procedures where precise, atraumatic tissue handling is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s elongated shaft and slim profile allow it to be introduced alongside endoscopes while preserving the surgeon’s line of sight. Fine, atraumatic jaw geometry minimizes mucosal trauma during grasping and specimen extraction. Ergonomic hand control gives deliberate tactile feedback for delicate dissections and controlled traction, improving maneuverability in confined nasal anatomy.
