Rhinoplasty Scissors
Rhinoplasty Scissors – also known as nasal scissors – are precision surgical instruments used primarily in rhinoplasty (nose surgery) and other nasal procedures. They are specially designed to allow surgeons to cut and shape soft tissue and cartilage within the nasal cavity with high accuracy and minimal trauma.
Description of Rhinoplasty Scissors:
-
Design:
Typically small and delicate, rhinoplasty scissors come with curved or straight blades that are sharp and fine-tipped. The curvature allows for better access and visibility inside the narrow nasal passages. -
Material:
Made of high-quality surgical stainless steel, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and the ability to be sterilized repeatedly without degrading performance. -
Types:
-
Straight or Curved Blades – for different angles and depths of tissue access
-
Blunt or Sharp Tips – depending on whether the goal is to dissect, cut, or avoid damaging surrounding tissues
-
Common types include Joseph scissors, Iris scissors, and Metzenbaum nasal scissors, adapted for nasal surgery.
