Ritter Halle Frontal Sinus Dilator 3.0mm,16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled dilation of the frontal recess and frontal sinus ostium during endoscopic sinonasal procedures. The instrument is used under endoscopic visualization to enlarge or probe the frontal outflow tract, facilitate access for suction and instrumentation, and help restore drainage in cases of chronic rhinosinusitis or obstructive frontal recess anatomy. Its slim profile supports atraumatic tissue handling when used with gentle, graduated force.

Design & Configuration

The 3.0 mm dilating tip provides a predictable, narrow profile suitable for negotiating the confined anatomy of the frontal recess. A 16 cm shaft length offers sufficient reach from the external nare to the frontal ostium in standard adult anatomy while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled manipulation. The straight, slender configuration permits use alongside endoscopes and other sinonasal instruments without obstructing the visual field.
