Politzer Furuncle Knife 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for incision and drainage of furuncles, localized boils and small soft‑tissue abscesses, this instrument allows precise initial puncture and extension of an incision to permit expression of purulent material and targeted debridement. Common clinical settings include dermatology clinics, otolaryngology procedures, wound care, urgent care and minor procedure rooms where controlled, low‑trauma soft‑tissue access is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s Politzer pattern couples a fine, sharp point with a narrow shaft to permit accurate entry into a pustular cavity and controlled scalpel‑style extension of the incision. A 16 cm overall length provides reach for lesions in deeper or confined anatomic locations while preserving tactile feedback and manual control. The slender profile and ergonomic handling reduce collateral tissue trauma and improve visibility of the working tip during drainage and limited debridement.
