?:definition
  • Nasal surgical scissors designed to cut and/or excise tissue from one of the paranasal sinuses. These scissors are typically handheld, manual instruments with two small metallic (e.g., stainless steel) blades with straight or angled (to the right or left) sharp tips that slide past each other (i.e., shearing action). The blades are at the distal end of a long shaft that is attached, usually at a 90-degree angle, to handles with the proximal end conformed as a ring to facilitate holding and operating with the fingers. Nasal sinus scissors are used mainly in procedures intended to excise abnormal tissues or materials.
