Sklar Ballenger Swivel Knife, Straight
An 8 inch straight swivel knife with a 3mm blade, used to incise septal cartilage with a rotating blade during nasal septal surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Ballenger Swivel Knife is an 8 inch ENT instrument with a straight shaft and a 3mm swivelling blade, used to incise nasal septal cartilage during septoplasty and other nasal surgical procedures. The swivel action allows the blade to pivot and follow the natural contour of the cartilage as the surgeon draws the instrument along the incision line, giving smoother, more controlled cuts than a fixed blade would allow in the curved anatomy of the nasal septum.
This straight shaft version complements the bayonet shaft option in the same product family, giving surgeons a choice of approach angle depending on their preferred technique and the specific anatomy being addressed. This listing includes a small range of related configurations to cover different cutting needs during septal surgery.
It is used by otolaryngologists and facial plastic surgeons as a standard component of septoplasty and rhinoplasty instrument trays, and is reprocessed for repeated use following routine ENT sterilization protocols.
