Septum ForcepsÂ
Septum Forceps are essential surgical instruments used in ENT, septoplasty, and rhinoplasty procedures. These forceps are specifically designed to manipulate, grasp, hold, or reposition the nasal septum and associated tissues during nasal surgeries. Surgeons prefer septum forceps for their precise gripping ability, minimal trauma, and ergonomic handling during delicate nasal operations.
This instrument are typically made of surgical-grade stainless steel, ensuring high resistance to corrosion and long-lasting performance even after repeated sterilizations. Their functional design includes slender shafts, curved or straight jaws, and serrated tips for non-slip gripping of cartilage or bone fragments.
Common Uses:
Grasping and stabilizing the septum during septoplasty
Removing fragments of bone or cartilage
Supporting nasal reshaping in rhinoplasty
Assisting in mucosal flap adjustments
Popular Types:
Jansen Middleton Forceps – ideal for septal cartilage removal
Lucs Forceps – used for bone cutting and grasping in nasal cavities
Takahashi Forceps – precise and curved, helpful in deep nasal spaces
Killian Forceps – useful in gripping septal tissues firmly
Each type offers a unique grip, jaw shape, and function tailored for different surgical approaches. With lightweight construction and firm locking mechanisms, septum forceps provide better control and minimal hand fatigue during long procedures.
