Catlin Cartilage Knife dble edge blade 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise scoring, excision and shaping of cartilage, this instrument is commonly used in rhinoplasty, septoplasty, auricular cartilage harvest and other otolaryngology or facial reconstructive procedures. The double-edge blade permits controlled bi-directional cutting when creating grafts, trimming cartilage contours or releasing adherent cartilage during open and closed approaches.

Design & Configuration

The double-edge blade geometry allows the surgeon to cut in either direction without rotating the instrument, enhancing workflow in confined operative fields. At 19 cm overall length the knife provides extended reach and improved hand control for delicate cartilage work while maintaining a balanced feel. The slender blade profile facilitates precise, low-profile scoring and contouring to produce smooth graft surfaces and accurate excisions.
