Pierce Antrum Trocar w/olive 3mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled transantral access, this trocar provides a port for maxillary antrum puncture, antral lavage, aspiration of infectious material, and collection of specimen for culture. It is commonly used in ENT clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and operating rooms for acute or chronic maxillary sinus drainage and irrigation procedures where direct access to the antrum is required.

Design & Configuration

The olive-shaped tip offers a rounded, atraumatic leading surface that helps dilate and seat in the puncture site while minimizing mucosal trauma. The configuration pairs an obturator (trocar) with a hollow cannula to create a temporary conduit into the antrum for irrigation, aspiration, or instrumentation. The 3 mm diameter enables a minimally invasive puncture suited to providing a working channel for lavage and suction while limiting local disruption.
