Fomon Scissors 14.5 cm B/B (Angled)

The Fomon Scissors 14.5 cm B/B (Angled) is a rhinoplasty scissors instrument forged from German-grade surgical stainless steel, measuring 14.5 cm in total length. Both blade tips are fully rounded, no sharp point on either end. The shank follows a flowing double-bend profile that offsets the short blade pair significantly away from the handle axis, positioning the surgeon’s hand clear of the nasal dorsum during the cutting stroke. Both blades carry a slight curve at the tip zone. One thumb ring is noticeably larger than the standard finger ring. A rivet screw joint connects both arms at the pivot, and the shank body carries a matte finish to reduce reflective glare under surgical lighting.

The angled shank geometry of the TC Fomon Scissors, 5 3/4″ (14.5 CM), Angled keeps both blunt tips tracking parallel to the nasal dorsal surface while the surgeon’s knuckles stay above the operative field, giving an unobstructed sightline along the nasal bridge during dissection that straight or standard-curve instruments cannot replicate at this anatomical site.

Plastic surgeons and ENT surgeons use the Fomon Scissors 14.5 cm B/B (Angled) during open and closed rhinoplasty for dissecting the dorsal nasal cartilages, separating the upper lateral cartilages from the nasal septum, and trimming fascia and skin at the nasal dorsum. This Fomon Dorsal Scissors configuration is also used in facelift procedures for subcutaneous tissue dissection along the nasal sidewall and dorsal hump reduction.

Leader Surgical manufactures this instrument with the shank bend angle held to verified tolerances, ensuring the blade offset geometry that rhinoplasty surgeons depend on for dorsal access remains consistent across every unit, not just typical production runs.

What does “B/B” stand for?
It stands for Blunt/Blunt tips. This configuration ensures that both blade ends are rounded to prevent piercing or damaging delicate tissues like the nasal mucosa during dissection.
