Product Overview
Named for their elongated “neck” and specialized vertical-opening jaws, Giraffe Forceps are indispensable for navigating the narrow, superiorly-angled anatomy of the frontal sinus. Unlike standard forceps, the Giraffe pattern allows for precise grasping at steep angles (45°, 70°, or 90°), ensuring that the surgeon can clear the frontal recess while maintaining a clear endoscopic view.
Key Features
-
Vertical-Opening Jaws: Features a unique “alligator-style” vertical bite, allowing for superior grasping capability within the narrow vertical corridors of the frontal recess.
-
Specialized Angulated Shafts: Available in various degree increments (e.g., 45°, 70°, and 90°) to match the specific anterior-superior anatomy of the patient’s frontal sinus.
-
Through-Cutting & Non-Cutting Options: Precision-milled jaws available in “through-cutting” for clean bone removal or “cupped” for atraumatic polyp and soft tissue retrieval.
-
Low-Profile Slender Design: The ultra-thin shaft is engineered to fit alongside an endoscope in the middle meatus without crowding the surgical field or blocking light.
-
Ergonomic Ring Handle: The handle mechanism provides the surgeon with exceptional tactile feedback and high-leverage “beast-like” crushing power for dense tissue.
