Fomon Rhinology Chisel 7mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

Used in rhinologic procedures to score, fracture and remove small segments of nasal bone and adjacent thin osseous structures. Ideal for controlled lateral or medial osteotomies, refinement of nasal bone contours, and intranasal bone work during septoplasty and open or closed rhinoplasty approaches. The 7 mm cutting edge provides a balance between precision and efficient bone engagement for delicate nasal anatomy.

Design & Configuration

The narrow 7 mm chisel blade is sized for targeted bone work within the confined nasal cavity, allowing surgeons to initiate osteotomies or perform fine trimming without excessive bone removal. A 17 cm overall length places the working tip at an ergonomic distance for intra-nasal access while the rigid shaft transmits controlled force for scoring or light mallet-assisted chiseling. The chisel geometry permits predictable shearing and cleaving along intended lines of fracture, improving control during contouring and osteotomy procedures.
