Tebbetts Nasal Dorsum Osteotome

The Tebbetts Nasal Dorsum Osteotome is a precision instrument specifically designed for the controlled reduction of the nasal dorsal hump in rhinoplasty. Part of the refined Tebbetts system, it typically features a thin, sharp blade with a width tailored to match common dorsal dimensions. It is used to make precise, clean cuts through the bony and cartilaginous components of the dorsal hump in a controlled, incremental fashion, allowing the surgeon to remove exactly the planned amount of tissue while preserving the underlying nasal mucosa for optimal healing and a smooth dorsal profile.

Key Features:

Thin, sharp blade designed for precise, incremental dorsal hump reduction.
Allows for controlled removal of both bony and cartilaginous dorsal components.
Minimizes trauma to the underlying mucoperichondrial and mucoperiosteal layers.
Promotes a smooth, predictable dorsal contour and preserves mucosal integrity for better healing.
Used in both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques for dorsal refinement.
A fundamental instrument for component dorsal hump reduction.
