Catlin Cartilage Knife dble edge blade 11cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise cartilage work, this double-edge Catlin cartilage knife is used to incise, score, and sculpt auricular and nasal cartilage. Its dual cutting edges facilitate controlled push-and-pull cuts and thin-slice harvesting for graft preparation during rhinoplasty, septoplasty, otoplasty, and other reconstructive head and neck procedures. The 11 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The double-edge blade geometry allows surgeons to make efficient bi-directional strokes when shaping or excising cartilage, reducing the need to reposition the instrument for alternating cutting motions. The compact 11 cm profile provides close fingertip control for delicate contouring while maintaining sufficient reach for standard open approaches. The narrow, low-profile blade minimizes soft-tissue interference and improves visibility at the cutting plane.
