Fomon Rhinology Chisel 5mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for controlled bone work in rhinologic procedures. The 5 mm chisel tip provides a narrow cutting surface suitable for precise scoring, removal or fracturing of small nasal bones and bony components of the septum and turbinates. It is appropriate for endonasal approaches where confined working space and fine control are required, including septoplasty, selective osteotomies during rhinoplasty and focused turbinate bony reduction.

Design & Configuration

A narrow 5 mm blade concentrates force on a small area to allow accurate shearing and predictable bone cleavage while minimizing collateral trauma to adjacent mucosa. The 17 cm shaft length offers clinical reach for deep intranasal work without excessive handle crowding at the surgical field. The chisel geometry creates a single, defined cutting edge intended for manual use to score or lever bone under direct visualization; the straight shaft orientation facilitates endonasal access and alignment with the nasal anatomy for controlled osteotomies.
