Rhinology instruments are surgical tools used in the field of rhinology, which focuses on the study and treatment of the nose and sinus-related conditions. These instruments are used by otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat specialists) during diagnostic and surgical procedures involving the nasal cavity and sinuses. Here are some common rhinology instruments:
Nasal Speculum:
Used for widening the nostrils to allow better visualization of the nasal cavity during examinations and procedures.
Nasal Forceps:
Fine-tipped forceps designed for grasping and manipulating tissues within the nasal cavity. Examples include Blakesley and Takahashi forceps.
Nasal Scissors:
Surgical scissors with various blade designs used for cutting tissues within the nasal cavity.
Nasal Elevators:
Instruments designed to lift and separate nasal tissues, providing better access and visibility during surgery.
Nasal Suction Instruments:
Used for removing blood, mucus, or other fluids from the nasal cavity during procedures. Examples include Yankauer and Frazier suction tips.
Rhinoplasty Instruments:
Instruments specifically designed for nasal reconstruction and cosmetic surgery. These may include chisels, rasps, and septal perforators.
Septum Straightening Forceps:
Instruments designed for straightening and repositioning the nasal septum, often used in septoplasty procedures.
Curette:
Used for scraping or removing tissue from the nasal cavity. Nasal curettes are commonly used in procedures like functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
Rhinology Microscopes:
High-powered microscopes used for magnified visualization during intricate rhinological procedures, especially endoscopic surgeries.
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) Instruments:
A variety of instruments, including sinus scopes and dissectors, used in endoscopic procedures to treat sinus conditions and improve drainage.
Nasal Packing Instruments:
Tools for placing and removing nasal packing materials after surgery to control bleeding and support healing.
Sinus Balloon Catheters:
Used in balloon sinuplasty procedures to dilate and open blocked sinus passages.
Nasal Fracture Reduction Instruments:
Instruments used to manipulate and reposition fractured nasal bones in cases of nasal trauma.
Nasal Rasp:
A surgical tool used for shaping and smoothing bone or cartilage in the nasal cavity during rhinoplasty.
Nasal Trocar:
A pointed instrument used to puncture tissues in the nasal cavity, often used in the drainage of nasal and sinus abscesses.
Sinus Irrigation Instruments:
Devices used for irrigating and cleansing the sinus cavities, aiding in the removal of mucus and debris.
