What is it?

Jansen-Middleton Septum Forceps

Also known asJansen-Middleton Septum Rongeur · Jansen-Middleton Nasal Rongeur · Jansen-Middleton Septum Cutting Forceps

Primary usesDissects and removes nasal tissue, mainly from the septum, as in a septoplasty.

InsightsAn angled, double-action forceps with a long curved handle and a spring between the handles. The jaws are oval cups, either solid spoon-shaped cups or through-cutting cups that punch out a clean piece.

Inspection & testingLook for loose or missing screws and pins and a weak spring. The jaws should open and close smoothly without sticking or grinding, with no pits or cracks at the cutting edge. A double-action rongeur should make a clean bite through an index card.

Passing techniqueHold it at the middle and place the handle firmly in the surgeon's palm, angled the way it will be used. Let go only when the surgeon has it.

CautionIt has pins, springs and screws that can work loose, and a loose part can drop into the wound.
