Tebbetts Septal Bayonet Forceps, 20 cm – Tungsten Carbide or Brown

The jaw choice decides what the instrument is for, and the two options are genuinely different tools. Tungsten carbide serrations grip needles, bone fragments and anything that must not slip — the firm end of septal work. Brown-style teeth spread the hold across many fine points instead, which is what cartilage and delicate flaps need, since a coarse grip on cartilage leaves a mark that never remodels.

What both share is the round-handled bayonet. The bayonet offset clears the surgeon’s hand from the line of sight down a nostril; the round handle then lets the instrument be rolled between the fingers to change the working angle without releasing it — useful in a septal field where the surfaces curve in every direction and the tips must stay flat against them.
