Hajek/Ballenger Nasal Gouge V-shap 8mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

This V-shaped nasal gouge is designed for controlled gouging, contouring and removal of thin bone segments within the nasal vault. It is commonly used in rhinoplasty, septoplasty and nasal osteotomy procedures to shape nasal bones, remove small bone ledges, and refine bony contours during open or closed approaches. The V-profile helps seat securely on narrow bone surfaces for precision bone work while minimizing unintended slip on adjacent soft tissues.

Design & Configuration

The V-shaped cutting tip concentrates mechanical force along a narrow ridge, providing predictable bite and improved control when contouring thin nasal bones. An 8 mm tip width balances effective material removal with fine control for delicate areas. A 16 cm overall length provides reach into the nasal cavity and subnasal spaces while preserving tactile feedback for the surgeon. The straight shaft and compact tip geometry support controlled, low-profile access in confined nasal anatomy.
