Fomon Lower Lateral Scissors, Strongly Curved, 14 cm

Overview

The Fomon Lower Lateral Scissors, Strongly Curved, 14 cm are designed to support precise tissue dissection and controlled cutting in rhinoplasty and nasal surgical procedures. The strongly curved blade profile is intended to facilitate access and visibility within the nasal framework while supporting refined tissue handling along anatomical contours.

Commonly selected for procedures involving delicate nasal soft tissue management, this instrument provides a compact working profile combined with a pronounced curvature to accommodate specialized surgical approaches.

Manufactured from German surgical stainless steel, these scissors are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization.
