Colclough Punch oblique 3mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

This oblique 3 mm punch is intended for precise circular excision and sampling of soft tissue and cartilage where small, controlled tissue removal is required. Its small cutting diameter is well suited for mucosal biopsies, cartilage trimming, and targeted removal of nodules or lesions in confined operative fields. Typical specialties that use this instrument include otolaryngology (nasal and sinus procedures), facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, and other procedures requiring fine, controlled tissue punches.

Design & Configuration

The oblique orientation of the cutting tip provides improved access and visualization when working within narrow cavities or angulated anatomy. An obliquely angled punch lets the surgeon approach the tissue at a more favorable angle without excessive retraction, enabling perpendicular engagement of the cutting rim to the tissue plane. The 15 cm shaft length offers extended reach into deeper nasal or oral cavities while preserving tactile feedback and control, and the 3 mm cutting diameter allows for precise, minimally disruptive circular excisions.
