Struycken Sinuscopy Forceps

Description

Struycken Sinuscopy Forceps

Struycken sinuscopy forceps take out small pieces of tissue from the nasal cavity and sinuses. Rhinologists and general ENT surgeons choose this pattern in nasal and endoscopic sinus surgery, where a slim jaw fits best.

A slim jaw

The 1 x 10 mm jaw fits into narrow spaces. Therefore the surgeon can reach tissue beside the endoscope. The forceps then take the tissue out in small pieces.

Two lengths

You can order them in a 12 cm or a 17 cm length. Both lengths share the same jaw size. As a result, the only real choice is reach, because the working tip stays identical.

In nasal surgery

Surgeons often combine this pattern with punches and scissors. For example, a scissors cut may free tissue first. Then the forceps remove it from the nasal cavity. Throughout, a suction tip keeps blood away from the lens.

Choosing a length

The 12 cm version suits work near the front of the nose. However, the 17 cm version reaches deeper structures. If you use both approaches, consider ordering one of each.

Caring for your Struycken sinuscopy forceps

Rinse the jaws soon after surgery. Next, flush the joint and brush it gently. After drying, sterilize the forceps with the jaws open. Also check the jaw alignment before each use.
