Maltz Nasal Rasp 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled abrasion and contour refinement of nasal bony and cartilaginous structures during rhinoplasty and septoplasty. Ideal for smoothing dorsal humps, leveling irregularities after osteotomy, and performing fine adjustments to the nasal dorsum and lateral walls. Useful for both primary and revision procedures where incremental removal and tactile feedback are required.

Design & Configuration

The Maltz pattern incorporates an elongated working shaft terminating in a textured rasping surface that permits precise, incremental material removal. The 18 cm overall length provides adequate reach into the anterior nasal vault and dorsal areas while maintaining a compact hand profile for controlled short strokes. The hand-held configuration maximizes tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to judge tissue resistance and avoid over-resection.
