Killian Septum Elevator sh/bl D/E 18cm

Clinical Application

Used by otolaryngology and facial plastic surgeons for controlled elevation of the nasal septal mucoperichondrium and mucoperiosteum during septoplasty, septal perforation repair, and other endonasal procedures. The contrasting sharp and blunt ends allow precise entry into the submucosal plane and atraumatic expansion of the dissection plane, facilitating mucosal flap mobilization, cartilage exposure, and septal contouring while minimizing mucosal tears.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration provides two complementary working tips in a single instrument: a sharper end for initiating the submucosal plane and releasing tight adhesions, and a blunter end for gentle, broad elevation and flap development. The 18 cm overall length balances intra-nasal reach with tactile control at the handle, allowing passage to posterior septal regions without sacrificing tip feedback. This arrangement reduces instrument changes during key stages of septal dissection.
