Ritter Halle Frontal Sinus dilator 5.0mm,16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled dilation of the frontal recess and frontal sinus ostium during endoscopic sinus surgery. The 5.0 mm working diameter is intended to enlarge or probe narrow frontal openings to improve drainage, facilitate access for visualization and instrumentation, and create a predictable working channel for subsequent instrumentation or topical therapy.

Design & Configuration

The single-shaft, fixed-diameter configuration provides a stable, tactile instrument for progressive dilation. The 16 cm overall length permits reach from the external nasal vestibule to the frontal recess while maintaining surgeon control. A smooth, atraumatic dilating profile reduces focal pressure on mucosa and bone compared with pointed instruments, supporting controlled enlargement of the ostium with minimal soft-tissue trauma.
