Killian Septum Gouge 5mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for intranasal septal work performed during septoplasty, submucosal resection, and related rhinologic procedures. The gouge profile is used to score, mobilize and remove small segments of cartilage or thin bone within the submucosal plane, enabling contouring of the septal framework while minimizing trauma to adjacent mucosa. The 5 mm tip width supports controlled, precise tissue engagement in confined intranasal spaces and is appropriate for delicate sculpting and targeted removal.

Design & Configuration

The straight gouge geometry provides direct line force transmission and tactile feedback, which helps surgeons control depth and direction when scooping or levering septal tissue. A narrow 5 mm cutting face balances precision with efficient tissue removal; the 17 cm overall length gives sufficient reach in adult intranasal anatomy while allowing the surgeon to maintain fine manual control. The simple, handheld configuration is suitable for use under direct visualization or endoscopic assistance.
