Virchow Cartilage Knife wooden handle 21cm, Blade size 80mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled cartilage dissection and contouring, this instrument is used to harvest, trim and shape cartilage grafts during rhinoplasty, septoplasty, auricular reconstruction and other otolaryngology or facial plastic procedures. The long blade facilitates smooth, continuous cuts across cartilage plates and grafts, helping to reduce fragmentation and permit predictable shaping for graft preparation.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 80 mm cutting blade provides a broad cutting surface for even slices through costal, septal or conchal cartilage. The 21 cm overall length gives the surgeon reach and leverage while maintaining tactile control. A wooden handle offers a warm, ergonomic grip and enhanced tactile feedback during fine manual shaping, which many surgeons prefer when performing delicate cartilage work.
