CAPLAN Nasal Septum septate Scissors, Serrated, 20cm

CAPLAN Nasal Septum Scissors, Serrated, 20cm

Cartilage slips. Unlike soft tissue, it shifts under a standard smooth blade, and that's exactly the problem these serrated Caplan scissors are built to solve. The serration bites into the cartilage surface as the blades close, holding it in place through the cut instead of letting it slide away mid-motion.

Why Serration Actually Matters Here

Septal surgery calls for precise, controlled cartilage resection — enough to correct a deviation while keeping the structural support that maintains nasal shape. A serrated grip gives surgeons confidence to make a clean, single-pass cut instead of two or three attempts at resistant cartilage, which saves time and avoids the ragged edges that complicate healing.

20cm Reaches Where It Needs To

Long enough to access cartilage deep in the nasal cavity, short enough to stay maneuverable in that confined space. Works equally well in straightforward septoplasty and more involved combined septorhinoplasty cases where cartilage work spans a broader field.

Fewer Attempts, Less Time

Because the serrated edges hold their grip through the full stroke, clean transection usually takes fewer attempts than a smooth-bladed scissor working the same resistant cartilage. That adds up across a procedure involving multiple cuts.

Precision-Ground for Consistency

The cutting edges stay sharp through repeated use, so the performance a surgeon gets early in the instrument's life matches what they get later — as long as sterilization and care protocols are followed between procedures.
