Clinical Application
Precision scissors used during open and closed rhinoplasty procedures for controlled excision and contouring of the dorsal nasal soft tissue and cartilage comprising a nasal hump. The angled, serrated cutting surface enables secure engagement of slippery or fibrous tissue while permitting fine, incremental trimming of cartilage and soft-tissue margins for an improved dorsal aesthetic line.
Design & Configuration
The angled blade geometry provides an improved approach to the convex surface of the nasal dorsum and facilitates cutting at acute angles without excessive hand contortion. A saw-edge (serrated) jaw increases purchase on tissue to minimize slippage and allow controlled cutting through fibrous or partially calcified cartilage. The 215 mm overall length offers a balance of reach and tactile feedback suitable for intraoperative manipulation within the nasal vault.
