Killian Nasal Polypus Forceps

Description

Killian Nasal Polypus Forceps

The Killian nasal polypus forceps takes hold of polyps and soft tissue deep in the nose. ENT surgeons reach for the Killian nasal polypus forceps during polypectomy and general nasal work.

Designed to grip and withdraw

Polyps hang from the nasal lining on narrow stalks. Therefore a forceps that grips firmly lets the surgeon pull the polyp free. The Killian does this through the nostril with the hand well outside the nose.

Curved, 18 cm

We offer one version, curved and 18 cm long. The curve helps the surgeon see past the instrument while the jaws work. Please contact us if you need jaw sizes.

How it fits a polyp procedure

First, a speculum opens the vestibule. Then the Killian jaws close around the polyp near its base. Next, the surgeon withdraws it, and suction clears any blood.

Pairing with other forceps

Many trays combine a grasping forceps like this with a cutting forceps. For instance, a Weil-Blakesley can trim the polyp base after the Killian removes the bulk. A snare offers another option for large polyps. Meanwhile, a slim Killian also suits quick grasps under an endoscope.

Caring for the Killian

Wash the Killian soon after surgery, before mucus dries. Also scrub the jaw serrations and joint with a soft brush. Then dry it thoroughly and send it to sterilization.
