Ballenger Knife bayonet 3mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Provides precise cutting and dissection in confined head and neck fields where direct line-of-sight is limited. Commonly used during nasal, septal and otologic procedures as well as in endoscopic or microscopic approaches for controlled mucosal and soft-tissue incisions, scoring, and fine tissue shaping.

Design & Configuration

The bayonet (offset) shaft geometry positions the surgeon’s hand out of the visual axis, improving visibility under microscopes or endoscopes and reducing the need to retract instruments from the line of sight. A narrow 3 mm cutting blade enables accurate, low‑profile incisions in tight anatomy, while the 20 cm overall length provides reach into deeper cavities without compromising control or tactile feedback.
