Nasal Forceps

Nasal forceps are surgical instruments used in ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) practice.
Their primary roles include grasping, holding, removing or manipulating soft tissues, nasal polyps, foreign bodies, or dressings inside the nasal cavity.
They are also used in procedures such as polypectomy, septoplasty, sinus surgery, postoperative care (e.g. removing dressings or packs) and for dealing with epistaxis (nosebleeds).

Component	Typical Design / Features
Jaws / Tip	Can be smooth, serrated, fenestrated (with holes) or cup‑shaped depending on function. E.g. fenestrated oval jaws for removing tissue or bone in restricted sinus areas.
Shape of Shaft / Neck	Usually long and slender; sometimes angled or with a bayonet‑shape so the surgeon’s hands/fingers don’t block view and access.
Handle	Ring handles (finger rings), sometimes larger rings for comfort/control. Some models with cushioned or ergonomic grip.
Joint / Hinge	Typically riveted or screwed; robust enough to withstand repeated use.
