Description
Knight Tonsil & Nasal Scissors
Knight nasal scissors are long scissors for work inside the nose and throat. ENT surgeons cut soft tissue and cartilage with them during septal, turbinate and tonsil procedures.
Reach into the nasal cavity
The nose is deep and narrow, so short scissors cannot reach the back of the septum. This pattern measures 18 cm. As a result, the blades get to the working area while the hand stays at the nostril.
One instrument, two regions
Our catalog places the Knight on both the tonsil and the nasal list. That means one pair can serve both the nasal tray and the throat tray. For smaller departments, that flexibility saves space and cost.
Typical cuts
In the nose, surgeons trim mucosa, cartilage or turbinate tissue. Meanwhile, in the throat, the same scissors can help separate tissue during tonsil dissection. A steady cut with good reach matters in both places.
Planning your set
Most ENT surgeons keep several scissors with different lengths and patterns. For instance, an 18 cm pair like this can sit next to a shorter 15 cm pattern for anterior work. Tell us which scissors you already own.
Caring for your Knight nasal scissors
Wipe the blades during the case to stop blood drying on them. Afterwards, open the scissors and wash the pivot under running water. Then dry them fully and sterilize them, keeping the blades clear of heavier instruments.

Ordering Knight scissors
The Knight pair carries a three-year warranty; we pay for any workmanship fault. Before shipping, an Atlanta staff member opens and closes each pair by hand. Our FAQ explains most things about ordering. For the steel we rely on ASTM F899, the standard that lists alloys for instruments. A combined alternative is the Heymann-Knight scissors.

Knight scissors are for professional use. See our cleaning and care page for notes on scissor photos and the nickel inside stainless steel. The shipping page gives delivery times.
