Clinical Application
Designed for precise intranasal tissue handling, these forceps are used to grasp and remove mucosal tissue, polyps, small specimens, and intranasal debris during ENT and rhinologic procedures, including endoscopic sinus surgery. The Blakesley-style fenestrated tips provide secure purchase on soft tissue while minimizing crushing, making them suitable for specimen retrieval from confined nasal cavities and for atraumatic manipulation of mucosa adjacent to delicate structures.
Design & Configuration
The Weil-Blakesley configuration combines a slim profile with a Blakesley-style jaw geometry to facilitate access and visualization in narrow nasal passages and endoscopic fields. Fenestrated jaws reduce tissue slippage and allow controlled extraction of specimens. The Fig.1 form factor and available lengths support both close-quarter manual work and use alongside endoscopes, helping maintain line-of-sight and instrument triangulation during endonasal procedures.
