Killian Septum Elevator D/E 18cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to facilitate atraumatic elevation of the mucoperichondrial and mucoperiosteal layers during septoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, and other intranasal procedures. It is used to develop submucosal planes, mobilize the septal lining from cartilage and bone, and create exposure for corrective cartilaginous or bony work. The double-ended configuration allows the surgeon to switch ends for different angles or stages of dissection without changing instruments.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended (D/E) layout provides two working ends with complementary orientations to accommodate variable septal anatomy and surgical approaches. At 18 cm total length, the instrument balances reach into the nasal cavity with tactile control at the tip, which aids precise undermining of mucosal flaps. The slender shaft and elevator tips are configured to permit controlled elevation in confined intranasal spaces while minimizing bulk in the nasal vestibule.
