Blakesley-Weil forceps
A long, thin, angled nasal forceps with cutting or grasping jaws, available in multiple angulations to match sinus anatomy.
How it is used

Clinical tip
Forceps angulation (straight, 45°, or 90°) should be matched to the sinus cell being treated to avoid forcing the instrument.
