Clinical Application
Designed for intranasal septal work, this sharp septum elevator is used to initiate and perform controlled elevation of the mucoperichondrial and mucoperiosteal layers during septoplasty and rhinoplasty. The sharp tip facilitates entry into the submucosal plane, assists in freeing adhesions and scar tissue, and allows precise delineation of the dissection plane near cartilage and bone while preserving surrounding mucosa when used with appropriate technique.
Design & Configuration
The sharp blade geometry provides a defined leading edge for initiating mucosal elevation and controlled sharp dissection where blunt elevation is insufficient. At 19 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach for intranasal and external approaches while maintaining tactile control. The narrow shaft and tip profile minimize visual obstruction in the surgical field and enable fine manipulation in confined nasal cavities.
