Anderson-Neivert Chisel

Description

Anderson-Neivert Chisel

The Anderson-Neivert chisel serves septal and rhinoplasty bone work with a straight blade. With light mallet taps, it trims bone and firm cartilage inside the nose.

A straight nasal pattern

The catalogue describes this chisel as straight and about 20 cm long. Therefore force from the mallet travels in line with the blade. That direct path helps the surgeon keep each cut steady and predictable.

Two patterns to choose from

We list two patterns, shown on the product page as Option 1 and Option 2. The listing does not spell out how they differ. So please contact us, and we will send photos and measurements of both before you decide.

Where surgeons use it

Nasal chisels help with several bony steps. For example, a surgeon may trim a spur on the septum or remove bone along the nasal floor. Afterward, rasps or rongeurs often tidy the area.

Ordering the right pattern

If you are replacing a chisel, compare our photos with the one on your shelf. Otherwise, tell us about the step you plan to use it for. Then we can suggest which of the two patterns fits best.

Caring for your Anderson-Neivert chisel

Keep the edge away from other steel during cleaning, since knocks can dull it. Wash by hand with a soft brush, then rinse carefully. Once dry, sterilize the chisel with a tip protector fitted.
