Description

Caplan Nasal Shears are designed for cutting and trimming tissue during nasal and ENT procedures. Measuring 20 cm (8″) in length, they provide a longer working reach for procedures where the surgeon needs to work inside the nasal cavity while keeping the hand away from the immediate surgical area.

The instrument has a double-action mechanism, allowing the blades to open and close through the handle movement. This design gives the surgeon a smooth way to control the cutting end without needing to make large movements with the hand. It is particularly useful when working in the confined space around the nasal structures.

The blades are angled, giving them a better approach to the surgical site than a straight instrument. The angled working end can be positioned around tissue without bringing the handles directly over the area being treated. This can make a difference during detailed nasal work, where space and visibility are often limited.

At 20 cm (8″) long, the shears offer plenty of reach for deeper areas while still being manageable during use. The long handles provide room for hand positioning, and the broad gripping surfaces give the user control while operating the double-action mechanism. The overall shape keeps the working end extended in front of the hand.

The blades and joint are designed for repeated surgical use and should move smoothly through their full range of motion. Before use, the cutting edges can be checked for proper alignment, while the joint and handle mechanism should be inspected for smooth operation. Keeping the instrument clean and properly maintained also helps preserve its working condition over time.

For nasal procedures that require extra reach and a controlled cutting action, Caplan Nasal Shears offer a practical design. Their 20 cm (8″) length, angled working end, and double-action mechanism make them suitable for detailed cutting and tissue work where the surgeon needs good access without placing the hand directly over the operative field.
