Hajek-Claus Punch Forceps

Description

Hajek-Claus Punch Forceps

The Hajek-Claus punch forceps is a bone punch for nasal and sinus work. Surgeons reach into the nose with it and bite off thin bone, one small piece at a time, to widen an opening.

A punch for thin sinus bone

Punch forceps remove bone in controlled bites instead of breaking it away in large fragments. As a result, the surgeon can enlarge an opening step by step. That control matters close to delicate structures around the sinuses.

One length, one bite

We offer a single 20 cm version. Our supplier catalogue gives the bite as about 5 x 5 mm, so it suits steady, moderate cuts. Need exact jaw dimensions first? Email us, and we will put calipers on a Hajek-Claus.

Its place on a sinus tray

Many ENT teams keep a punch like this next to their nasal cutting forceps and curettes. For example, the curette may loosen tissue first, and then the punch trims the bony edge. A second punch with a different bite also gives the tray more range.

Choosing a punch for your set

First, think about the sinus bone your Hajek-Claus will face and how deep you usually work. Next, compare the 5 x 5 mm bite with the punches you already own. When two tools overlap too closely, one of them rarely leaves the drawer.

Caring for the punch

Bone dust packs into punch jaws quickly, so flush them with water right after the case. Then open the jaws and brush the cutting edges and the joint. Also dry the instrument completely before it goes into the sterilizer.
