Sklar Dingman Cartilage Abrader Set, Left and Right
A matched set of 6 inch curved left and right cartilage abraders, used together by surgeons to shape cartilage from either side during facial surgery.
The Sklar Dingman Cartilage Abrader Set brings together the curved left and right hand versions of the 6 inch Dingman abrader, giving the surgeon a matched pair for shaping cartilage from either direction during facial and nasal reconstructive surgery. Supplying both orientations as a set removes the need to order the left and right abraders separately, ensuring the surgeon always has the correct handedness available regardless of the approach required during a given procedure.
Plastic surgeons, facial reconstructive surgeons and ENT surgeons use this type of paired abrader set during rhinoplasty, otoplasty and other procedures involving fine reshaping of cartilage, where working from both sides of the cartilage may be necessary to achieve a balanced result. The abrasive surface on each instrument allows gradual, controlled smoothing or contouring of cartilage, complementing cutting and scoring instruments used elsewhere in the same procedure.
Facial plastic surgery and ENT centres performing regular rhinoplasty or ear reconstruction cases would typically stock this complete set as a core part of their cartilage shaping instrument tray.
