Clinical Application
Designed for otolaryngology and rhinoplasty procedures, this instrument compresses and weakens septal cartilage and small bony spurs to facilitate controlled contouring, greenstick fracturing, and removal during septoplasty and related intranasal procedures. It is used to reduce the thickness of the septum, remodel deviated segments, and prepare tissue for excision or repositioning while minimizing slippage and collateral soft-tissue trauma.
Design & Configuration
The long 21 cm reach provides access to the full length of the nasal septum through standard intranasal approaches. Broad opposing crushing surfaces distribute compressive force across the cartilage to produce controlled collapse or weakening, improving predictability when removing or reshaping septal tissue. The slim shaft and compact jaw profile reduce interference in the confined intranasal space, allowing the surgeon to position and manipulate the instrument precisely while maintaining visualization.
