Richards 23-0574 Nasal Scissors Right Curved ENT 8-1/2"

Richards 23-0574 8-1/2" Right-Curved Nasal Scissors (ENT)

The Richards 23-0574 is a high-performance ENT tool built for surgeons who require finesse and reach during intranasal tissue mobilization. The 8-1/2 inch (21.6 cm) length is the clinical standard for reaching the posterior nasal choanae, while the right-curved blade is indispensable for following the natural arc of the turbinates or performing precise septal resections.

Crafted from premium surgical stainless steel, these scissors feature a slim-profile blade design that minimizes mucosal trauma. The mechanical linkage is tuned to provide a smooth, "scissor-action" shear that prevents tissue crushing, making them an ideal choice for turbinectomies, rhinoplasty, and sinus surgery.
