Westmacott Nasal Polypus Forceps

Description

Westmacott Nasal Polypus Forceps

The Westmacott nasal polypus forceps grasps nasal polyps and soft tissue. ENT surgeons use the Westmacott nasal polypus forceps to extract polyps and manage soft tissue inside the nasal cavity.

The Westmacott pattern

Westmacott forceps belong to the family of long nasal grasping forceps. Our supplier catalogue describes them as curved and about 20 cm long. So they reach well into the nose while the hand stays clear.

Figure 1 and figure 2

We offer two figures, 1 and 2. The listing does not describe how they differ. Therefore please ask us before ordering, and we will explain the difference for each Westmacott figure.

During polypectomy

The surgeon passes the Westmacott in with its jaws closed. Then the jaws open around the polyp and close near its base. Finally, a steady pull frees the tissue.

Selecting a figure

If you are replacing a worn Westmacott, tell us the figure you have. Otherwise, we can send photos of both figures. Many surgeons stock one of each for flexibility. Meanwhile, a single figure may suit a small clinic.

Caring for the Westmacott

Rinse the Westmacott straight after the case to keep tissue from drying. Next, brush the jaws and joint gently. Then dry it and send it for sterilization.

Buying a Westmacott

Each Westmacott figure has a three-year warranty, and Westmacott workmanship defects fall within it. Before shipping, someone in Atlanta checks each Westmacott by hand. Start with our Westmacott frequently asked questions for ordering help. Also, ASTM F899 is the standard that Westmacott-type instrument steel relates to. For a similar long forceps, see the Lubet-Barbon nasal polypus forceps. More choices await in our ENT department online.

Westmacott forceps are for professional use only. Our Westmacott care guide page explains Westmacott photos and nickel in stainless steel. See the Westmacott returns section if an unused Westmacott needs to come back.
