SHEEN-KILLIAN Septum/Nasal Forceps

Description

Purpose:

• SHEEN-KILLIAN Septum/Nasal Forceps are a kind of surgical device used in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) operations, including those involving the nasal cavity.
• Their major role is to grab, handle, and retain tissues inside the nose, providing for improved visibility and access during surgery.

Features:

• The design resembles normal forceps, but with lengthened and thin shanks to reach deep nasal tissues.
• The grabbing jaws at the distal tip vary in design based on the kind.
• The shanks may be straight or bent for better maneuverability inside the nasal cavity.

Jaws:

• Jaws may have smooth or serrated surfaces to better hold tissues.
• Serrated jaws provide a more secure grasp but may leave minor scratches on sensitive tissues.

Material:

• High-grade stainless steel is often used for durability, corrosion resistance, and the potential of sterilization (mozliwosc sterylizacji).

Benefits:

• Sheen-Killian forceps improve visualization by keeping tissues apart, allowing for a better view of the surgical area inside the nasal cavity.
• Precise Manipulation: The gripping ability enables surgeons to handle nasal tissues precisely during treatments.
• Reduced Trauma: Compared to utilizing fingers or other equipment, the design reduces the risk of damaging sensitive nose tissues.
• Multiple Functions: Depending on the kind and jaw design, these forceps may be employed for a variety of functions, including grabbing sutures, dissecting tissues, and administering topical drugs.
