Schmeden Nasal Cutting Forceps

Description

Schmeden Nasal Cutting Forceps

The Schmeden nasal cutting forceps cuts and removes tissue inside the nose. Surgeons use this pattern for turbinate and septal work when a clean resection matters more than force.

A pattern for tissue resection

Soft nasal tissue tears easily when grabbed and pulled. Instead, a cutting forceps divides the tissue within its jaws. As a result, the edges left behind tend to be neat.

Jaw options

We offer three jaws: 10 mm, 9 mm and 7 mm. The 10 mm jaw removes the most tissue in each bite. Meanwhile, the 7 mm version gives finer control in narrow areas.

Typical moments of use

Surgeons commonly reach for it while reducing hypertrophic turbinate tissue or tidying the septum. For example, after the main resection, a smaller jaw can trim ragged edges. That helps the airway heal cleanly.

How to pick a jaw

Start with the 9 mm jaw if you want one general size. Then add the 10 mm or 7 mm option for bigger or finer work. Tell us what you already stock, so we can suggest a gap to fill.

Caring for the Schmeden

Wash the jaws soon after use while debris is still soft. Also clean the joint with a soft brush and warm water. Finally, dry it carefully and sterilize it as your department prescribes.

Getting your Schmeden forceps

A three-year warranty applies whenever the Schmeden shows a defect in workmanship. Before it leaves Atlanta, one of our team handles and checks it personally. The Schmeden FAQ area covers typical order and care questions. Also, ASTM F899 is the recognized standard for the steel in a Schmeden. For polyp removal in the same area, see the Bruenings nasal polypus forceps. More nasal tools fill our ENT department.

The Schmeden suits professional use. Read the Schmeden sterilization and care notes for why pictures may vary and what nickel does in stainless steel. Returns of unused jaws follow our Schmeden refund policy.
