Catlin Cartilage Knife dble edge blade 22cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise cutting and sculpting of cartilage in otolaryngology and facial plastic procedures. Common clinical uses include cartilage scoring and excision during septoplasty, open and closed rhinoplasty, otoplasty and harvest or preparation of cartilage grafts. The double-edge blade enables controlled bidirectional cuts for accurate shaping and trimming of thin to moderate cartilage segments. Not intended for use on bone.

Design & Configuration

The Catlin pattern features a narrow, double-edged blade profile that provides a low-profile cutting surface to minimize drag and tissue distortion. A double-edge geometry permits efficient forward and backward cutting strokes without rotation of the instrument, improving control in confined operative fields. The 22 cm overall length increases reach for deeper exposures while maintaining hand clearance from the surgical site—useful in both open and endonasal approaches.
