Description
Converse Rhinoplasty and Nasal Knife
With a curved blade on a 15 cm handle, the Converse nasal knife suits incisions and dissection inside the nose. Rhinoplasty surgeons use it to free soft tissue over cartilage and bone.
Reaching round corners
The nostril bends and narrows, so a straight blade cannot always reach. A curved knife, however, follows those bends. Therefore it helps with internal incisions near the alar cartilages. Also, it gives a clear line of sight past the handle.
Size
We stock the knife at 15 cm, curved. That length gives steady control through the nostril. Ask us if you need further measurements, such as blade length.
From John Converse
John Marquis Converse was a leading figure in reconstructive plastic surgery. His name appears on several nasal tools, including hooks, retractors and chisels. This knife fits with that group.
Using it in rhinoplasty
For example, the surgeon may make an internal incision and then undermine the skin over the dorsum. A curved knife helps with both steps. Next, rasps or osteotomes reshape the framework.
Caring for your Converse nasal knife
Handle the blade carefully at every stage. Rinse off tissue, wash by hand, and dry fully. Then sterilize it, edge sheathed.
