Ritter Halle Frontal Sinus Dilator 2.5mm,16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled dilation of the frontal recess and frontal sinus ostium during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and related endoscopic nasal procedures. The 2.5 mm tip provides a narrow-profile option to gently expand restricted frontal outflow tracts, facilitate endoscope and instrument passage, and improve access for irrigation or drainage. Its size is suited to cases where incremental, focal dilation is required within the confined anatomy of the anterior skull base.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s rigid shaft and single-ended dilating tip provide direct tactile feedback for precise, manual manipulation in the nasal corridor. The 16 cm overall length affords adequate reach from the operative field at the nostril to the frontal recess without excess shaft bulk, while the 2.5 mm tip diameter balances the need for a low-profile approach with effective tract enlargement. The blunt dilating geometry minimizes tissue cutting, allowing gradual opening of narrow ostia under endoscopic visualization.
