Sklar Lichtwitz Antrum Trocar, 7-1/2 Inch
An ENT trocar used to puncture the maxillary sinus wall for drainage and irrigation during antrum procedures, from Sklar.
The Sklar Lichtwitz Antrum Trocar is a surgical instrument used in ear, nose and throat procedures to gain access to the maxillary antrum. The pointed trocar tip punctures the sinus wall so the surgeon can irrigate, drain or sample the cavity, a step commonly needed when treating chronic sinusitis or when fluid needs to be removed for diagnosis.
The instrument is built with a rigid shaft that allows controlled, precise entry through bone and soft tissue, and its handle gives the operator a firm, steady grip during the puncture. Instruments of this type are used by ENT surgeons and otolaryngology teams in operating theatres and specialist clinics, often alongside irrigation systems and antrum washout sets.
This listing measures 7-1/2 inches overall, a length suited to reaching the antrum through the nasal or facial approach used in these procedures. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is intended for reprocessing and repeated use within a sterile instrument set.
