Clinical Application
Designed for intranasal procedures where precise, controlled incisions and atraumatic tissue elevation are required. The buttoned tip is intended to reduce the risk of mucosal perforation during mucoperichondrial elevation, medial or lateral mucosal releases, and other septal or nasal soft-tissue dissections commonly encountered in septoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Design & Configuration
The buttoned (rounded) tip geometry provides a blunt contact surface distal to the cutting edge, allowing surgeons to separate planes and elevate tissue with reduced risk of unintended full-thickness laceration. A 16 cm overall length offers reach into the nasal cavity while maintaining precise tactile control. The single-ended blade focuses the instrument on fine dissection and controlled incisions in confined intranasal spaces.
