Fomon Rhinology Chisel 6mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precision bone work within the nasal vault, this chisel is used to perform controlled sculpting, separation, or removal of small bony segments during rhinologic procedures. Typical applications include septoplasty and rhinoplasty steps that require shaping the nasal dorsum, removing bony spurs, or preparing bone edges for contouring. The 6 mm blade provides a balance between precision and efficient bone engagement in confined intranasal spaces.

Design & Configuration

The 6 mm chisel blade combines a narrow profile for access in tight anatomy with enough surface area for predictable cutting of thin cortical bone. The 17 cm overall length gives the surgeon adequate reach into the nasal cavities and anterior ethmoid region while preserving tactile feedback and manual control. The hand-held shaft and flat chisel face permit controlled chiseling using manual leverage or light mallet taps when required for osteotomy or bone release maneuvers.
