Clinical Application
This double-ended nasal rasp is designed for controlled contouring of the bony nasal dorsum and smoothing irregularities following osteotomy or hump reduction. It is used in primary and secondary rhinoplasty, open and closed approaches, and for intraoperative refinement after nasal bone fracture reduction. The compact rasp heads permit precise abrasion of localized high points while preserving surrounding anatomy.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended configuration provides immediate access to a rasping surface without instrument exchange, improving efficiency during dorsal refinement. The 21.5 cm overall length allows comfortable reach into the nasal vault and working space, while the 6.5 x 7.5 mm rasp heads present a small, controlled abrasive surface for focused bone smoothing. The straight shaft geometry permits a direct line of action for predictable tactile feedback and fine contouring.
