Hajek Sphenoid Punch up 4x4mm, shaft 14cm

Clinical Application

This up-angled sphenoid punch is designed for controlled removal of bone and firm soft tissue during endoscopic transnasal procedures, including sphenoidotomy and posterior ethmoid work. The instrument is intended for use under endoscopic visualization to take small, precise bites from the sphenoid rostrum, sellar face, or other confined areas of the posterior nasal cavity and skull base corridor where direct access and line-of-sight are limited.

Design & Configuration

The "up" angulation places the biting jaws in an orientation that facilitates superior and posterior-directed bites while working through the nostril under endoscopic view. A 14 cm shaft length provides reach appropriate for transnasal endoscopic approaches without excessive shaft bulk, helping maintain tactile feedback. The 4 x 4 mm jaw size balances efficient tissue or bone removal with fine control to minimize collateral trauma and aid stepwise enlargement of ostia or bony windows.
