Clinical Application
Designed for controlled intranasal cutting and excision, this instrument is used to remove or trim small segments of cartilage, soft tissue and bone during procedures such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction and rhinoplasty. The compact cutting jaws and 18.5 cm working length enable precise tissue bites deep within the nasal cavity while maintaining tactile feedback for the surgeon. Its form is intended for use in open or endonasal approaches where confined access and fine, perpendicular shearing are required.
Design & Configuration
The slender shaft and compact cutting tip provide access into narrow nasal passages without obstructing the field. Ring handles afford direct manual control for delicate maneuvers and allow the surgeon to modulate bite pressure precisely. The cutting jaw geometry is optimized for shearing small tissue or cartilage fragments cleanly, reducing the need for repeated passes and minimizing collateral trauma in the confined nasal environment.
