Citelli antrum punch up cutt. bite 3.0mm

Clinical Application

Designed for otolaryngology and oral/maxillofacial procedures that require precise access to the maxillary antrum, this up-cut antral punch is used to create controlled fenestrations in the antral wall and to remove small bony fragments or tissue. The 3.0 mm bite diameter is intended for confined operative corridors where a small, accurate opening is required—for example during antral puncture, limited antrostomy, or targeted removal of isolated bone during open or endoscopic-assisted approaches.

Design & Configuration

The tool uses an up-cut (upward cutting) cup-style geometry that concentrates cutting force at a 3.0 mm circular bite. This configuration allows the surgeon to obtain a precise bite with tactile feedback and to lift the excised fragment into the cup for controlled extraction. The small diameter bite minimizes collateral bone removal and is useful in areas with limited exposure or close proximity to adjacent anatomic structures.

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel and finished for precision cutting. The cup-style bite is ground to provide a sharp cutting edge appropriate for bone work at a small diameter. The instrument is designed for repeated sterilization and reprocessing in standard hospital sterilization workflows.
