Colclough Punch up 5mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise circular core excision, this punch delivers controlled 5 mm specimens for diagnostic biopsy, graft harvest, or removal of small soft-tissue and cartilage fragments. Its length and upward-cutting orientation make it useful in otolaryngology and nasal procedures (including septoplasty and rhinoplasty), and in select reconstructive and soft-tissue procedures where access is confined and a predictable specimen diameter is required.

Design & Configuration

The upward ("up") cutting geometry orients the cutting face toward the surgeon when approaching from a lower trajectory, improving visualization of the tissue interface and allowing a safer, more controlled bite in deep or narrow cavities. The 20 cm shaft length provides extended reach to access deeper anatomy without excessive hand intrusion into the field. The 5 mm punch diameter produces a consistent, circular core that facilitates histologic assessment or graft sizing while minimizing collateral tissue trauma.
