Takahashi nasal cutting Fcps Fig.1, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled cutting and trimming within confined intranasal spaces, this Takahashi pattern forceps is used to remove or reshape mucosal tissue and portions of cartilage during septoplasty, turbinate reduction, rhinoplasty and other endonasal procedures. The distal cutting jaws allow surgeons to take precise bites in areas where larger instruments would risk collateral trauma or impaired visualization.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s elongated 19 cm shaft provides reach into anterior and mid‑nasal cavities while keeping the surgeon’s hands clear of the field. The compact, precision cutting tip is configured to deliver controlled shearing action in tight spaces; this geometry supports accurate tissue trimming with minimal manipulation. An ergonomic handle profile facilitates single‑handed control and tactile feedback during incremental resections.
