Backbiting ostrum antrum punch forceps 7 working length 100mm adult straight 2.5mm x 7.0mm bite 5.0mm wide head ring handle

Precision Access for Antral and Sinus Procedures

Navigating the confined anatomy of the maxillary sinus requires instruments that combine precise reach with reliable tissue control. This backbiting ostrum antrum punch forceps is engineered to facilitate effective access during adult ENT and general surgical procedures. With a straight design and a 100mm working length, it offers direct visualization and maneuverability within the antral cavity. The 5.0mm wide head accommodates the specific 2.5mm x 7.0mm bite geometry, allowing for controlled removal of bone or tissue fragments. Ring handles provide familiar ergonomics for steady manipulation, supporting surgeons in maintaining accuracy while working in tight spaces where standard forward-biting instruments may lack the necessary angle or leverage.

Use Cases

• Performing controlled bone removal and tissue debridement within the maxillary sinus during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
• Facilitating antrostomy procedures by punching through the medial wall of the antrum to establish drainage pathways.
• Removing obstructive bony spurs or hypertrophic tissue in adult patients requiring precise posterior or lateral access.
• Assisting in general surgical tasks that require backbiting action for tissue excision in confined anatomical cavities.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean thoroughly immediately after use to remove biological debris, paying close attention to the jaw mechanism and hinge areas.
• Inspect the cutting edges and jaw alignment regularly for signs of wear, dullness, or misalignment that could affect performance.
• Store in a dry, protected environment to prevent damage to the delicate tip and supports readiness for subsequent procedures.
