Septum Straightening Forceps
Septum straightening forceps grip the deviated septum and move it back to the midline. They are used to correct a deviated septum after a nasal fracture, or as part of septoplasty and rhinoplasty. Medfort makes the classic Asch and Kressner patterns, plus right, left and straight versions (codes SI-092701 to SI-092705).
Where they are used
They are used in the reduction of nasal fractures, closed correction of a deviated septum, septoplasty and septorhinoplasty.
Our range
- Asch septum straightening forceps
- Septum straightening forceps: straight, right and left
- Kressner septum forceps
Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
The Asch forceps is the classic choice for straightening the septum after a nasal fracture, with broad blades that grip both sides of the septum. Right and left angled versions help to reach and correct the septum from either side. Kressner forceps give a firm grip for repositioning.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Care and sterilization
Rinse instruments straight after use so blood and tissue do not dry on. Open all joints, then clean them by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Rinse, dry thoroughly and lubricate hinges with instrument milk. All items are suitable for standard steam sterilization (autoclave). Inspect them regularly, and repair or replace any that are worn or damaged.
