Karl Storz N2898 7-1/4" Straight Sinus Cup Forceps (3mm Round Cup)

The Karl Storz N2898 is a premium otolaryngology instrument designed for the meticulous manipulation and excision of soft tissue within the paranasal sinuses. Featuring a 3 mm round cup jaw, this forceps provides a controlled "bite" that is ideal for removing ethmoid cells, nasal polyps, or taking mucosal biopsies. The straight shaft configuration is the foundational tool for anterior-to-posterior nasal dissections, ensuring the surgeon has a direct line of sight and high-fidelity tactile feedback when working near critical structures like the lamina papyracea or the skull base.

Crafted from high-carbon surgical stainless steel, the N2898 is engineered to maintain jaw alignment and cutting-edge integrity through thousands of sterilization cycles. The ergonomic finger-ring handle is designed for a non-locking, fluid motion, allowing the surgeon to "tease" tissue away with minimal trauma—a vital requirement for successful FESS outcomes and reduced postoperative scarring.
