A hand-held manual surgical instrument with a cutting/biting action used for the removal of ethmoid bone (bone which separates the cavity of the nose from the membranes of the brain) during a ear/nose/throat (ENT) surgical intervention. It is typically designed with a long, thin, two-part sliding shaft (the upper part sliding along the lower part) which is joined to sprung (self-opening), pivoted, pistol-grip or ring handles. The working end terminates with sharp, profiled cutting jaws that close over the ethmoid tissue when the handles are squeezed together cutting through it. It is available in various sizes and designs and is made of high-grade stainless steel. This is a reusable device.
