Lewis Joseph Nasal Rasp 18cm

Clinical Application

This rasp is intended for controlled abrasion and contouring of nasal bone and cartilage during functional and aesthetic nasal surgery. It is commonly used to smooth the bony dorsum following hump reduction, to refine sharp edges after osteotomy, and to address small bony prominences or irregularities that can be difficult to manage with chisels alone. The instrument provides tactile feedback that helps the surgeon perform fine adjustments under direct visualization in open or closed approaches.

Design & Configuration

The rasp’s elongated profile and rasping working surface deliver access along the nasal vault while allowing precise, manual control of tissue removal. The geometry permits linear strokes and localized smoothing without the bulk or vibration of powered tools, making it useful for delicate finishing work. The working surface is designed to abrade bone or fibrous cartilage in a controlled fashion so the surgeon can produce a uniform contour with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
