Tilley Nasal Packing Forceps - Serrated Jaws - Netcare Instruments
Professional Tilley Nasal Forceps for anterior packing and foreign body removal. Angled "knee-bent" design ensures an unobstructed view during ENT procedures.
-
KNEE-BENT (ANGLED) SHAFT: The unique 45° to 90° angle between the handle and the shaft keeps the surgeon's hand out of the visual field for maximum accuracy.
-
STRAIGHT SERRATED TIPS: Unlike triangular aural tips, these feature long, slender, straight jaws with transverse serrations for a non-slip grip on gauze and nasal wicks.
-
VERSATILE CLINICAL USE: Essential for performing anterior nasal packing in epistaxis cases and removing crusts, polyps, or foreign bodies.
-
ERGONOMIC FINGER RINGS: Oversized finger rings provide superior control and comfort, reducing hand fatigue during complex sinus or septoplasty procedures.
-
PREMIUM GERMAN STEEL: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel with a satin-finish to minimize glare under surgical lighting.
The Essential Tool for Rhinological Visualization The Netcare Tilley Nasal Forceps
are a cornerstone of the modern ENT OPD and operating room. While traditional forceps often block the line of sight when inserted into the narrow nasal vault, the Tilley's angled design allows the surgeon to work with precision while maintaining a clear view through a nasal speculum or endoscope.
Engineered for Professional Grip Whether you are placing Nareseal Nasal packs or removing deep-seated nasal crusts, the ridged "crocodile-action" jaws provide a dependable, atraumatic grip that prevents material from slipping during the procedure.
Tip Profile Straight, Transversely Serrated
Material Surgical Grade Stainless Steel (Autoclavable)
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Tilley nasal packing forceps used for?
Tilley nasal packing forceps are used to insert, adjust, and position nasal dressings and packs (such as BIPP ribbon gauze, Merocel, and silicone splints) inside the nasal cavity following septoplasty, rhinoplasty, or nasal hemorrhage (epistaxis) treatment. The angled design allows deep placement without obstructing the clinician's view.
How are Tilley forceps different from standard tissue forceps?
Tilley forceps have a characteristic angled jaw that provides access to the posterior nasal cavity — a region that straight forceps cannot reach without blocking the view. The long, slender profile is designed for working inside the narrow nasal passage.
Are Tilley nasal forceps autoclavable?
Yes. The Netcare Tilley nasal packing forceps are made from surgical-grade stainless steel, autoclavable to 134°C for repeated clinical use.
Can Tilley forceps be used for nasal foreign body removal?
Yes. In addition to nasal packing, Tilley forceps are used for nasal foreign body retrieval — particularly in paediatric patients — where the angled jaw can reach around objects in the anterior nasal cavity under direct visualization with a headlight or endoscope.
