Converse Nasal Scissor Angled Right

During open rhinoplasty, the scroll region between the cephalic border of the lower lateral cartilage and the caudal border of the upper lateral cartilage demands an angled cutting path; a straight scissor jaw forces the surgeon’s hand against the alar wall and loses the access angle. The right-angled jaw of the Converse nasal scissor maintains the correct trajectory into the intercartilaginous zone without requiring wrist rotation that shifts the dissection plane.

In septoplasty, the sharp tip enters the sub-mucoperichondrial plane cleanly along the avascular layer over the quadrangular cartilage. Instrument geometry designed for this tissue plane allows the mucoperichondrial flap to elevate without tearing, consistent with endonasal septal technique where flap integrity determines exposure quality for the remainder of the procedure.
