Sklar Edge TC Fomon Dorsal Scissors, Angled
A five and a half inch angled tungsten carbide scissors designed for precise cutting along the nasal dorsum during rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery.
The Sklar Edge Fomon Dorsal Scissors shares its angled design with other dorsal scissors patterns used in rhinoplasty, letting the surgeon cut along the contour of the nasal dorsum without the instrument's shaft blocking the view of the surgical field. Its tungsten carbide cutting edges give it a sharper, more durable edge than a plain stainless steel equivalent, useful for an instrument that sees repeated fine cutting of nasal cartilage and soft tissue over its working life.
At five and a half inches, it is proportioned for the confined anatomy of the nose, and the Fomon name reflects a long-standing pattern within facial plastic and reconstructive surgery instrumentation. It is used by ENT and plastic surgeons and their assistants during the dorsal reduction and reshaping steps of rhinoplasty and related procedures.
As a tungsten carbide instrument, it is handled with the extra care appropriate to precision cutting tools, while remaining built for the repeated sterilisation and continued clinical use expected of a reusable surgical scissors.
