Description
Fomon Tonsil & Nasal Scissors
Fomon nasal scissors are ENT scissors named after Samuel Fomon, a pioneer of rhinoplasty. Surgeons use them to trim cartilage and soft tissue in the nose, and they also appear on tonsil trays.
A rhinoplasty name
Fomon taught and wrote widely on nasal surgery. As a result, several nasal instruments bear his name. This scissors is one of the best known of them.
15 cm length
We list the Fomon pattern at 15 cm. That length gives good control for work near the nasal tip and dorsum. Meanwhile, it still reaches the anterior septum with ease. It also fits a standard nasal tray.
Where it helps
In rhinoplasty and septoplasty, surgeons trim cartilage, soft tissue and mucosa. The listing also names tonsil use, so the pair can help with small throat cuts. Either way, the scissors favor precise, short strokes.
Pairing with other nasal tools
Many rhinoplasty sets include more than one scissors pattern. For instance, a surgeon might combine this with a Cottle pattern of the same length. Ask us if you want advice on a set.
Caring for your Fomon nasal scissors
Wipe blood from the blades during the case when you can. After surgery, wash the pair open and brush the pivot area. Then dry the Fomon pair thoroughly and sterilize it with its tips shielded.
