Description

The Asch Septum Straightening Forceps are made for holding and straightening the nasal septum during surgery. They measure 23 cm / 9 inches, with long handles that give the surgeon room to work while the jaws are positioned inside the nose. The angled working end also helps when reaching and holding the septum.

The jaws are broad, smooth, and slightly concave. This shape gives the septum a firm hold without relying on sharp teeth. The forceps can be used to gently manipulate the septum and bring a deviated section toward the desired position.

They are used mainly in septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and nasal reconstruction. Asch forceps can also be used when the septum needs to be realigned after nasal trauma. During fracture repair, the septum can be grasped with the blades and carefully moved back into position.

The long handles make it easier to apply controlled pressure without having the hand too close to the nose. The angled jaws are set to work along the septum rather than straight across it, which suits the shape of the nasal passage. This design is also described as an angled-on-flat pattern.

Made from surgical stainless steel, the forceps have the solid construction needed for a reusable surgical instrument. The smooth working surfaces are easy to inspect after cleaning, while the hinge and jaws should be checked to make sure they open, close, and meet properly before use.

For septal work, the Asch Septum Straightening Forceps provide a simple way to hold and reposition the septum with steady control. Their 23 cm length, angled jaws, and smooth gripping surfaces make them suitable for septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and nasal reconstructive procedures.
