Clinical Application
Designed for precise bone work in nasal surgery, this straight Silver (Frenchay) nasal chisel is used to perform controlled osteotomies, mobilize nasal bone segments, and remove small bony spicules during rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and repair of nasal fractures. The chisel concentrates force at the cutting edge to allow predictable separation or trimming of thin facial bones while minimizing collateral soft tissue disruption when used with appropriate technique.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft and chisel-shaped cutting tip deliver direct alignment with the dorsal and lateral nasal bones, enabling the surgeon to apply force in line with intended osteotomy vectors. At 18 cm overall length, the instrument provides reach and leverage for access to the nasal vault and lateral nasal walls while preserving tactile feedback. The slim, rigid profile facilitates controlled positioning in narrow surgical corridors typical of closed and open rhinoplasty approaches.
