Citelli antrum punch up cutt. bite 1.5mm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for use in otolaryngology procedures involving the maxillary antrum and paranasal sinuses. The small 1.5 mm bite enables precise removal of bone or soft tissue when creating or enlarging an antrostomy, trimming accesory bony ledges, or taking small biopsies within the antral cavity. The up‑cutting action gives controlled shearing that helps avoid excessive traction on surrounding mucosa.

Design & Configuration

The up‑cutting punch geometry directs the cutting force upward as the jaws close, producing a clean shearing motion that minimizes crushing and reduces the tendency to pull mucosa into the jaws. A single, defined 1.5 mm bite provides predictable, repeatable excision for delicate work in confined sinus spaces. The punch form factor is optimized for alignment along the axis of the antrum to permit targeted bites with tactile feedback for the surgeon.
