Caplan Septum Scissors

Heavy-Duty Precision Caplan Septum Scissors Tungsten Carbide

In the case of the septal reconstruction as well as turbinate surgery, surgeons require a tool capable of handling the rigors of cartilage and bone with no loss of accuracy. Caplan Septum Scissors can be described as the tough-duty machine of the nasal tray, specially designed to give maximum cutting power within the long, narrow passageways in the nasal cavity.

With an overall length of 7 3/4" (19.5 cm), these scissors have the reach and mechanical advantages needed for complicated intranasal procedures.

Advanced Technical Features

Caplan is a sophisticated model. The Caplan model is an advanced version of the traditional surgical scissors. It comes with various "gold standard" upgrades:

• Tungsten Carbide (TC) Inserts. You can identify them by their distinctive handle made of gold. They also come with extremely hard Tungsten Carbide cutting blades. The TC blades are significantly more hard than stainless steel. This is what allows the blades to stay sharper for a longer time, as well as giving a more clean "crunch-free" cut through thick cartilage.
• The serrated Blade Edge. A blade has been micro-serrated to hold onto the slack septal tissues. This stops "tissue slippage" during the cutting process and ensures that the cut is precisely where the surgeon had envisioned it to be.
• Angled design: The blades are bent in relation to the handle. This permits the surgeon's hand to stay outside of the visual axis, allowing an unobstructed, clear view through the septum while performing the surgery.
• Double-Action leverage: The strong design, along with the 19.5 cm length give you the amazing leverage needed, making it possible to cut through the ossified (bony) areas of the septum. This can harm or dull lighter scissors.

Primary Surgical Uses

The Caplan Septum Scissor is a special instrument that is used by ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) and Plastic Surgeons to treat:

1. Septoplasty: The procedure involves removing deviated septal cartilage or bones to improve the flow of air.
2. Turbinate Reduction: Reducing the hypertrophied bone and soft tissue out of the turbinates.
3. Sepal Perforation Repair: Revamping the edges' perforations to make way for a mucosal flap.
4. Cartilage Shaper: Sculpting harvested cartilage to be used as grafts for reconstructive Rhinoplasty.

Durability and Care

As this instrument comes with Tungsten Carbide inserts, this instrument is an investment that will last for the long term of any surgical center. The body is constructed of surgical stainless steel that is high-quality to ensure flexibility and resistance to corrosion. The TC tips guarantee that your knife remains "factory sharp" through hundreds of procedures.

• Sterilization Autoclave-ready and fully compatible with conventional ultrasonic cleaning.
• Ergonomics. This 7 3/8" length is symmetrical to help reduce strain on the hand when cutting through thick material.
