SCHNIDT 19 cm: specialised forceps for maximum precision in ENT surgery
The SCHNIDT 19 cm forceps from Frimed are a professional instrument designed to meet the requirements of maxillofacial surgeons, particularly during procedures such as tonsillectomy. This model is distinguished by its slender shape and upward-curved jaw, equipped with fine grooves that ensure a stable grip on tissue without damaging it. This specific curvature is an essential distinguishing feature, as it allows for a more natural anatomical approach in the deep areas of the oral cavity or pharynx.
The single-piece stainless steel construction guarantees optimum rigidity while maintaining a balanced weight to reduce hand fatigue during prolonged procedures. The locking mechanism keeps the forceps securely in the closed position, offering the surgeon maximum stability during procedures.
The tapered tip of the SCHNIDT forceps allows for smooth and precise insertion between soft tissues, which is particularly useful in procedures requiring delicate dissection or trauma-free manipulation. This 19 cm model is specifically calibrated to offer increased manoeuvrability, even in restricted operating fields, without compromising grip efficiency.
Used in many medical contexts, the SCHNIDT forceps are best known for their role in ENT surgery, where their unique shape follows the natural curve of the throat. The fineness of their curved jaws is ideal for precisely grasping sensitive tissue or performing ligatures in contact with delicate structures.
