FAQs

Q1: What septum instruments are used to evaluate septal anatomy?

For preoperative instruments, use function-specific diagnostic sinus septum instruments. For example, nasal speculums help visualise the inside of the nasal cavity. Similarly, nasal probes and dressing forceps assist surgeons in manipulating. 

Q2: Which instruments form a perfect ENT septum instrument set?

Septoplasty can be optimised by having a well-consolidated ENT septum instrument set. This set must have instruments for visualisation, such as speculums and probes, tools for elevation, such as the nasal elevator, and tools for reduction, such as the chisels. 

Q3: Can septum forceps and elevators be used again and again?

Yes, septum forceps and elevators can be used repeatedly across different septal procedures. However, it is important for the surgical maintenance team to stick to the necessary protocols required to clean the tools.
