Takahashi Nasal Cutting Forceps

Description

Takahashi Nasal Cutting Forceps

The Takahashi nasal cutting forceps is a widely used ethmoid forceps. Sinus surgeons use the Takahashi nasal cutting forceps to grasp and remove tissue in the ethmoid cells and nasal cavity.

A familiar ethmoid instrument

Takahashi forceps appear on many sinus trays. Their slim jaws pass through the nose into the ethmoid region. Then the surgeon bites off cell walls and polyps under direct or endoscopic view.

Three jaw orientations

You can choose an upward, straight or downward jaw. The straight version handles work in line with the shaft. However, the upward and downward jaws reach above and below that line.

Length from the catalogue

The Takahashi measures about 19 cm in our supplier’s catalogue, with a 120 mm shaft. That suits endonasal work in most adults. Pediatric use, however, depends on the surgeon’s own judgment and the patient’s anatomy. For exact jaw dimensions, just ask us.

Which orientation first

Most teams start with the straight jaw. Next, they add the upward jaw because the upper ethmoid is hard to reach. The downward jaw then completes the set for floor-level work.

Caring for the Takahashi

Rinse the jaws right after surgery to prevent dried tissue. Also brush the working end carefully with a soft brush. Finally, dry it completely and sterilize it.
