Ballenger Knife bayonet 5mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This Ballenger bayonet knife is designed for precise sharp dissection and controlled mucosal incision in confined surgical fields. Its profile is commonly used in otolaryngology procedures—such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction, sinus access, and intranasal trimming—where a narrow cutting edge and an offset shaft improve access and control. The narrow 5 mm blade provides a small footprint for focused cuts on soft tissue and mucosa.

Design & Configuration

The bayonet shaft geometry places the operator’s hand out of the direct line of sight, allowing unobstructed visualization of the operative field while maintaining tactile control. The angled, offset profile reduces hand crowding when working through specula or alongside endoscopes and provides a natural cutting angle for delicate tissue work. The compact 5 mm blade width balances precision with sufficient cutting surface for controlled incisions and trimming.
