| Description | This is a nasal forceps of Luc’s type, named after the French surgeon who introduced a surgical technique for removing abscesses in the maxillary sinus. It features finger rings, a screw-joint, fenestrated oval jaws with serration, and a slender profile. There is also an angle between the handles and the shafts, which enhances the surgeon’s visibility. The shafts bear markings: “Medicon” and “Stainless Steel” on the outside, and “87” with “Theatre” manually inscribed. A few stains are present. |
