Hajek/Ballenger Nasal Gouge V-shap 6mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

Precision gouge for controlled removal and reshaping of small nasal bony segments. The V-shaped cutting tip is intended to engage thin cortical bone and allow incremental gouging or levering in confined intranasal corridors. Common uses include septoplasty, inferior turbinate bone work, conchal reduction and select rhinoplasty or revision procedures where focused bone removal is required without larger osteotomes.

Design & Configuration

The V-shaped 6 mm tip concentrates manual force at two cutting points to produce a predictable bite while minimizing uncontrolled splintering. The 16 cm overall length provides intranasal reach and tactile feedback for working within the nasal cavity. The slender shaft and defined tip geometry facilitate visualization and targeted bone removal through limited operative exposure, helping surgeons maintain control in delicate intranasal spaces.
