Jansen-Middleton Septum Forcep — Overview

The Jansen-Middleton Septum Forcep (S27-400-20) is a substantial, scissor-action cutting forcep used to remove sections of the nasal septal cartilage and bone during septoplasty and septorhinoplasty, one of the most widely recognized instruments in nasal septal surgery.

What the Jansen-Middleton Does

During septoplasty, deviated or obstructive portions of the septal cartilage and bone need to be removed to straighten the septum and relieve nasal obstruction. The Jansen-Middleton forcep is specifically designed for this task — its jaws bite through septal cartilage and bone cleanly, and the instrument is typically used to remove septal specimens through a single nostril while a septal speculum holds the surgical corridor open, making it one of the standard, load-bearing instruments in any septal surgery set.

Clinical Use

This forcep is used specifically in septoplasty and septorhinoplasty for removing deviated or excess septal cartilage and bone, and is considered essential equipment for any facility performing nasal septal surgery.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with hardened, precisely ground cutting jaws capable of cleanly cutting through both cartilage and bone.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. The cutting jaws should be inspected before each use for dulling or damage, given how central this instrument is to a successful septoplasty.
