Sklar Ballenger Septum Swivel Knife, Bayonet
A 7-3/4 inch bayonet shaped swivel knife with a 3mm blade, used to incise septal cartilage during septoplasty and related nasal surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Ballenger Septum Swivel Knife is a 7-3/4 inch ENT instrument with a bayonet shaped shaft and a swivelling 3mm blade, used to incise nasal septal cartilage during septoplasty and other nasal surgical procedures. The bayonet shaft shape keeps the surgeon's hand and the instrument body out of the direct line of sight into the nasal cavity, while the swivel action of the blade lets it rotate to follow the contour of the cartilage being cut rather than forcing a straight cutting line.
This design gives the ENT surgeon precise control when separating mucoperichondrial flaps or making cartilage incisions in the confined space of the nasal septum. This listing includes a small range of blade configurations, giving surgeons options for the specific cutting angle or reach a case requires.
Instruments like this are standard components of septoplasty and rhinoplasty trays, used by otolaryngologists and facial plastic surgeons, and are reprocessed between procedures following routine ENT instrument sterilization.
