Clinical Application
This instrument is designed for controlled nasal osteotomies and precise bone scoring during open and closed rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and reduction of nasal bone fractures. The chisel-style cutting edge is used to mobilize, reshape, or fragment nasal bone segments with focused force, typically with handheld control or light mallet strikes for controlled propagation of osteotomies and greenstick fractures.
Design & Configuration
The hexagonal handle provides a secure, non-rotating grip that improves tactile feedback and torque control during delicate bone work. The chisel-style blade with an 8 mm cutting face concentrates impact energy for efficient, predictable bone entry while the 17 cm overall length affords comfortable reach and hand clearance in the nasal and peri-nasal field. Together these features facilitate controlled osteotomies with reduced slippage and improved directional control.
