Littauer Nasal Polypus Forceps

Description

Littauer Nasal Polypus Forceps

The Littauer nasal polypus forceps extracts nasal polyps and loose soft tissue. Otolaryngologists use the Littauer nasal polypus forceps during polyp removal and while cleaning the nasal cavity.

A dependable grasping pattern

Littauer forceps appear in both nasal and ear sets, and this version serves the nose. Its curve keeps the jaws visible past the shaft. As a result, the surgeon can guide each grasp by eye.

One size and shape

We sell it curved, at 18 cm. The Littauer reaches the middle and back of the nasal cavity. Ask us for jaw details if you need to match an existing Littauer.

During polyp removal

The surgeon typically opens the nose with a speculum and then closes the Littauer jaws on the polyp. Next, a gentle twist and pull frees it. Suction then keeps the view clear for the next grasp.

How many to stock

Polyp cases can use several forceps in turn. So busy theaters often keep two Littauer forceps per tray. Meanwhile, a clinic may need only one. We can also match a second Littauer to one you already own.

Caring for the Littauer

Rinse polyp tissue off the jaws as soon as the case ends. Then brush the hinge area and jaws, and dry the Littauer completely. Sterilize it with the jaws slightly open.
