Hajek Claus antrum punch 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for otolaryngology and oral/maxillofacial procedures, this instrument is used to create or enlarge an opening into the maxillary antrum and to remove small cores of bone or soft tissue. Typical applications include access and clearance during antral windowing, selective removal of antral wall fragments, and adjunctive use in Caldwell-Luc or sinus-related procedures where a controlled bite is required.

Design & Configuration

The punch-style cutting tip provides a controlled, circumferential bite that reduces crushing trauma to surrounding tissues compared with broader gouging instruments. The 20 cm shaft length extends reach into the oral cavity and naso-antral region, improving access in adult anatomy and allowing the operator to maintain a comfortable working distance from the surgical field. The instrument geometry facilitates precise placement of the bite in confined sinus corridors, helping to preserve adjacent mucosa and tooth roots.
