Fomon Lateral Scissors for Precision Rhinoplasty
The Fomon Lateral Scissors are a cornerstone of modern nasal surgery, offering the unique geometry needed for complex reconstruction. These scissors are primarily utilized for the careful separation of the fomon upper lateral scissors and fomon lower lateral scissors regions. The angled profile is a critical design feature, allowing the surgeon to maintain clear visibility of the dissecting surfaces while maneuvering through the narrow nasal passages.
Advanced Surgical Grade Construction
Each pair of fomon nasal scissors is balanced for ergonomic comfort, reducing hand fatigue during long procedures. While these instruments are part of our premium German Stainless Steel collection, they are finished to a top-quality standard to ensure longevity. The high-quality surgical steel blades are available in various configurations, including a Super Cut variant with micro-serrations to securely grasp and cut through tough fascia or cartilaginous tissue without slippage. Every instrument is ultrasonic cleaned and passivated to guarantee maximum corrosion resistance.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Perform ultrasonic cleaning immediately after use to remove debris from the screw joint and micro-serrations.
- Sterilization: Fully autoclavable. Recommended cycle: 134°C (273°F).
- Lubrication: Regularly apply surgical-grade lubricant to the rivet screw joint to maintain a smooth opening and closing action.
- Inspection: Periodically check the blade alignment and tip closure to ensure continued surgical precision.
People Also Ask:

A: While they can cut sutures, it is recommended to use them primarily for soft tissue and cartilage to preserve the fine cutting edge.
Q: What is the length of these scissors?
A: The standard Fomon Lateral Scissors measure 5 inches (12.5 cm), providing a compact and highly maneuverable profile.
