Skinner maxillary biopsy forceps 8 working length 120mm curved down 70° double-action 3.0mm vertical cupped jaws ring handle

Precision Access for Maxillary Biopsy Procedures

Accessing the maxillary sinus or posterior oral cavity requires instruments that balance reach with precise control. The Skinner maxillary biopsy forceps address this challenge with an 8-inch working length and a 70-degree downward curve, facilitating clear visualization and access to difficult anatomical sites. Its double-action mechanism amplifies hand pressure, allowing the 3.0mm vertical cupped jaws to secure tissue samples efficiently without excessive force. Designed for both ENT and general surgery applications, this ring-handled instrument provides the stability needed for delicate mucosal biopsies. The curved profile helps navigate around obstructions, supports the surgeon maintains a steady grip while targeting specific areas for diagnostic sampling.

Use Cases

• Performing targeted mucosal biopsies within the maxillary sinus via transoral or transnasal approaches
• Sampling soft tissue lesions in the posterior oral cavity where straight instruments lack sufficient angulation
• Retrieving small tissue fragments during diagnostic procedures requiring enhanced leverage and grip security
