Joseph Masing Septum Elevator bayonet 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled submucosal and subperichondrial elevation of the nasal septum, this bayonet septum elevator is used routinely during septoplasty, rhinoplasty and other endonasal procedures where precise mucoperichondrial flap elevation is required. The instrument permits blunt dissection along cartilage and bony septal planes while minimizing mucosal tears and facilitating consistent flap elevation for grafting or cartilage reshaping.

Design & Configuration

The bayonet (offset) shaft geometry keeps the surgeon’s hands and fingers clear of the line of sight, providing unobstructed visualization of the nasal cavity under loupe or microscope. A length of 22 cm offers adequate reach to anterior and posterior septal regions while maintaining ergonomic control. The fine elevator tip is optimized for atraumatic, tactile separation of soft tissue from cartilage and bone, allowing precise flap initiation and extension without excessive force.
