Caplan Septum Scissors Archives

Caplan Septum Scissors are specialized, delicate surgical scissors designed for precise cutting within the nasal septum during septoplasty and septorhinoplasty. Their long, slender shanks and fine, sharp, straight or slightly curved blades allow surgeons to reach deep into the nasal cavity and make accurate cuts in septal cartilage and bone. This instrument is essential for performing maneuvers like trimming deviated cartilage, resecting spurs, or scoring cartilage for grafting, all while working within the confined intranasal space with optimal control and minimal trauma to surrounding mucosa.
