Heymann-Knight Nasal Polypus Forceps

Description

Heymann-Knight Nasal Polypus Forceps

The Heymann-Knight nasal polypus forceps grasps polyps and soft tissue inside the nose. Surgeons use the Heymann-Knight nasal polypus forceps in polypectomy and in nasal and sinus procedures.

Two names, one pattern

Many nasal instruments carry combined names, often because one surgeon refined another’s design. The Heymann-Knight follows that tradition. In short, it serves as a grasping forceps for soft nasal tissue.

Available size

We offer one Heymann-Knight version with an overall length of 18 cm. The listing gives no shape or jaw details. Therefore, if you need them, message us and we will measure a Heymann-Knight.

Place in the procedure

After exposure with a speculum, the surgeon grasps a polyp with the Heymann-Knight jaws. Then the polyp comes out with a controlled pull. The surgeon repeats this until the passage is clear.

Choosing between polyp forceps

Polyp forceps differ mainly in jaw shape, curve and length. So compare the Heymann-Knight with the patterns you already use. We can send photos to help you decide. Also, tell us your usual polyp size, because that guides the choice.

Caring for the Heymann-Knight

Rinse the Heymann-Knight right after use to stop tissue drying on it. Next, brush the jaws and joint carefully. Also dry it fully before it goes into the sterilizer.
