Nasal Septum Osteotome Archives

The Nasal Septum Osteotome is a specialized osteotome designed for performing precise osteotomies on the bony septum (vomer and perpendicular plate of the ethmoid) during septoplasty and septorhinoplasty. It typically features a narrow, straight, or slightly curved blade that allows the surgeon to make controlled cuts to mobilize or remove deviated portions of the bony septum. This instrument is crucial for straightening the nasal airway and creating space for grafting in functional nasal surgery.

Key Features:

Narrow, straight, or slightly curved blade designed for the bony nasal septum.
Allows for precise osteotomies to mobilize or resect deviated septal bone.
Essential for correcting posterior septal deviations and creating a wide nasal airway.
Used in conjunction with septal cartilage work to achieve a straight L-strut.
Provides controlled bone division in a confined, delicate space.
A key instrument for comprehensive functional septorhinoplasty.
