Killian Septum Elevator D/E 22cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for intranasal septal work where controlled elevation of the mucoperichondrial/mucoperiosteal layer is required. It is commonly used during septoplasty and rhinoplasty to raise mucosal flaps, expose the septal cartilage and bone for contouring or scoring, and to help mobilize septal fragments for reduction. The 22 cm length provides reach for anterior and mid-septal exposure while maintaining tactile feedback for delicate submucosal dissection.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration reduces instrument exchanges by providing two complementary working ends on a single shaft. This design supports efficient alternation between blunt elevation and finer dissection without changing tools. A balanced 22 cm profile gives the operator sufficient shaft length for visibility and hand control in the confined nasal cavity while preserving the leverage necessary for precise mucoperichondrial elevation.
