Abstract

The Flamingo forceps is an upbiting cup forceps with an angulated shaft of 7 3/8 in for use in the maxillary sinus using the operating microscope. The design is such that the surgeon's hand is not in the line of vision and the instrument can be used on the right or left side and in various directions.
