Fomon Rhinoplasty and Nasal Knife

Description

Fomon Rhinoplasty and Nasal Knife

The Fomon nasal knife is a straight rhinoplasty knife from the Samuel Fomon family of nasal tools. Surgeons use it for intranasal incisions and soft tissue work.

Straight and steady

A straight shaft gives direct feedback from blade to hand. So the surgeon can guide an incision along a planned line. It also makes the angle of the blade easy to judge.

Length of 15 cm

Our catalogue shows it at 15 cm and straight, a size that sits comfortably in the hand for nostril work. Please ask if you need blade dimensions.

Where surgeons use it

For example, a rhinoplasty often starts with incisions between the nasal cartilages. Then the surgeon frees skin and soft tissue from the framework. A straight knife can help with both tasks.

Building a Fomon set

We also stock Fomon rasps, chisels and retractors. Therefore you can assemble a matching group for rhinoplasty. Many surgeons like the consistency of one family. Also, similar handles help staff sort the tray quickly.

Caring for your Fomon nasal knife

Rinse and wash the blade by hand after each case. Next, dry it completely. Then sterilize it with the edge protected from contact.

Buying the straight Fomon pattern

Workmanship defects on this straight 15 cm pattern fall under our three-year warranty, so you can buy with confidence. Before shipping, a teammate in Atlanta gives the blade a careful look by hand. Please see our FAQ section for buyers. ASTM F899 is where you will find the steels suited to rhinoplasty knives and other surgical instruments. For reducing bone afterward, add a Fomon rasp. Then visit our ENT range.

Rhinoplasty knives are for professional clinical use. Our sterilization and care information covers the gap between knife photos and real items, plus the nickel found in the alloy. Check the shipping information page for timing.
