Colclough Punch oblique 5mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

This oblique punch is designed for controlled coring and excision of small tissue segments, cartilage or thin bone in procedures where precision and minimal collateral trauma are required. Its 5 mm bite is suitable for taking targeted biopsies, removing cartilage islands, or creating small fenestrations in confined anatomical sites. Common procedural contexts include otolaryngology, oral/maxillofacial work and other soft-tissue surgeries that require a compact, angled cutting tool for accessing oblique surfaces.

Design & Configuration

The oblique jaw geometry provides an angled cutting approach that improves line-of-sight and access in narrow or curved operative fields. An oblique bite allows the surgeon to approach tissue at a non-axial angle, enabling flush excision along contours and reducing the need for excessive tissue manipulation. The 5 mm bite size balances a predictable tissue core with fine control, making the instrument useful for precise excisions where larger punches would be disruptive.
