Clinical Application
Designed for precise manual contouring of the nasal dorsum and adjacent bony/cartilaginous prominences during rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty procedures. The instrument is used to reduce small amounts of bone or cartilage, smooth irregularities after osteotomies, and refine dorsal contours where controlled abrasion is preferred over larger bone-cutting instruments.
Design & Configuration
The elongated 21 cm shaft provides reach along the nasal dorsum and into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled rasping. The Wiener Aufricht rasping surface permits incremental material removal and smoothing, allowing the surgeon to refine contours through small access points. The slim profile facilitates use in both open and closed approaches and helps minimize disruption to surrounding soft tissue during fine shaping.
