Clinical Application
Designed for use in rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty procedures, this straight nasal hump scissors provides controlled excision of dorsal soft tissue and cartilaginous components of the nasal hump. The saw-edge blade enhances grip on fibrous tissue and cartilage, facilitating precise trimming and contouring of the nasal dorsum during open or closed approaches. It is intended to be used as part of a surgical instrument set for dorsal reduction, often in combination with rasps or osteotomes for bony work.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry offers a direct line of action along the nasal dorsum, enabling the surgeon to make accurate, linear cuts without unwanted deviation. A saw-edge (serrated) cutting surface minimizes slippage on tough or slippery tissues, improving control when trimming cartilage or dense connective tissue. The 215 mm overall length provides extended reach into the surgical field while preserving tactile feedback for fine dissection and contouring.
