JOSEPH 16 cm: a double nasal hook designed for precision surgical procedures in rhinology
The JOSEPH 16 cm nasal hook from Frimed is a surgical instrument designed for ENT specialists performing deep nasal procedures. It features a double curved, sharp and perfectly symmetrical hook at the end. Each of the two claws is carefully sharpened to provide excellent grip, while being slightly rounded at the tip to reduce the risk of accidental perforation. This unique configuration allows the mucosa to be grasped, pulled, detached or mobilised with extreme precision in an often restricted and delicate surgical field.
The tool is 16 cm long, an ideal size for penetrating nasal structures while maintaining optimal manual control. The slender design of the instrument allows deep access without obstructing the surgeon's view. Its curved shape also facilitates access to areas that are difficult to reach in a straight line, such as the posterior regions of the nasal septum or the lateral cavities.
The handle has a round cross-section and is fully ribbed lengthwise. These grooves ensure a perfect grip for the fingers, even when wet or when wearing gloves. This texture prevents accidental slipping, thus ensuring stability of movement and patient safety. Made entirely of surgical stainless steel, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated sterilisation processes while retaining its sharpness and structural rigidity.
This specific model of the JOSEPH nasal hook, recognisable by its two curved and sharpened hooks, is clearly distinguishable from other variants of the same name. It is an indispensable tool for any ENT surgeon seeking a precise, stable and effective approach to rhinoplasty, septoplasty or nasal exploration procedures.
