FOMON 16 cm nasal hook with rounded tips: precision and safety for rhinoplasty and ENT surgery
The FOMON 16 cm nasal hook from Frimed stands out thanks to its distinctive wide U-shape, extended by two short arms ending in rounded tips called "buttons". This special shape allows the nasal tissue to be manipulated without risk of trauma, while ensuring optimal stability during retraction. Unlike other more aggressive hooks, the FOMON button-tip model is particularly appreciated for its gentle yet effective action on the delicate structures of the nose, especially during rhinoplasty, septoplasty or nasal septum exposure procedures.
At 16 centimetres long, this instrument offers a good compromise between manoeuvrability and accessibility to deep areas. The shaft is rigid, thin and slightly tapered for easy handling while ensuring stability during surgical procedures. The perfectly spherical tips allow the tissue to be grasped, held or mobilised without damage, reducing localised pressure points. This buttoned design also limits the risk of perforation or accidental injury, making it suitable even for the most delicate procedures.
The surgical stainless steel construction guarantees exceptional resistance to corrosion, sterilisation products and wear and tear associated with regular use. Each piece is carefully machined to provide a smooth, hygienic finish, essential for preventing residue and maintaining optimal asepsis. Its ergonomic shape and symmetry also allow it to be used by both left- and right-handed users, with excellent weight distribution on the operating hand.
The FOMON 16 cm nasal hook is intended for professional use in hospitals, operating theatres or specialist practices. Its proven design and buttoned tip make it indispensable for nasal procedures requiring clear visualisation and gentle tissue handling. Versatile, durable and precise, it is a trusted ally in nasal surgery.
