Sheen Killian Septum Forceps | Angled Nasal Clamp

The sheen killian septum forceps features an angled jaw design with flat serrated surfaces optimized for grasping and clamping nasal septal cartilage and mucosa during septoplasty and rhinoplasty procedures. The angular offset improves access within the narrow nasal passage.

Key Features

• Angled Jaw Design: Offset angle for improved nasal passage access
• Flat Serrated Surfaces: Even tissue pressure distribution without jaw tip penetration
• Nasal Septum Optimized: Jaw width suited to septal cartilage clamping
• Ratchet Lock: Stable clamping during tissue manipulation
• Stainless Steel Construction: Fully autoclavable for repeated sterilization

Clinical Use

The sheen killian septum forceps is used in septoplasty and rhinoplasty for clamping, repositioning, and holding nasal septal cartilage and mucoperichondrial flaps during surgical correction of the deviated nasal septum. The angled jaw enables access to posterior septal segments that straight forceps cannot easily reach.

Construction & Care

The sheen killian septum forceps is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a precision-angled jaw and flat serrated surface ground to fine tolerances. The ratchet mechanism provides multiple locking positions for adjustable clamping force. Fully autoclavable. Clean the ratchet teeth and jaw serrations thoroughly before sterilization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the clinical advantage of the sheen killian septum forceps angled jaw?
The angled jaw of the sheen killian septum forceps allows surgeons to clamp posterior and superior nasal septal segments that are difficult to access with straight forceps in the confined nasal operative field.

Can the sheen killian septum forceps be used in rhinoplasty as well as septoplasty?
Yes, the sheen killian septum forceps is used in both septoplasty and rhinoplasty for cartilage clamping, repositioning, and holding septal grafts in place during nasal reconstructive procedures.
