Guide Support for Osteotome

Description

Guide Support for Osteotome

This osteotome guide support is an accessory for nasal bone work. It helps the surgeon steady and direct an osteotome during rhinoplasty.

What a guide adds

Osteotomy calls for a controlled, steady line through bone. A guide gives the osteotome something to rest against. As a result, the surgeon can focus on the direction of the cut while the mallet drives the blade.

Sizes and data

We do not have size data on file for this item. Therefore please contact us before ordering, and we will confirm its dimensions and send photos. That way you can check it against your own osteotomes.

Where it fits in a rhinoplasty set

Nasal osteotomies often follow hump reduction. For instance, the surgeon may narrow the nasal bones with lateral cuts. In that step, an assistant or the surgeon can use a guide to help keep the blade on track.

Pairing it with osteotomes

First, list the osteotome widths you use most. Next, ask us whether this guide suits those widths. We can also suggest osteotomes from our range, such as straight or angled patterns.

Caring for your osteotome guide support

Rinse it immediately after surgery to remove blood and bone dust. Then clean every surface with a soft brush. Also dry it fully before sterilizing it with your osteotomes.
