Tebbetts Intranasal Osteotome

Description

The Tebbetts Intranasal Osteotome is a specialist surgical device used for accurate bone sculpting during rhinoplasty surgeries. It is part of the Tebbetts Nasal Osteotomes family, but it has several critical properties that make it suitable for intranasal use.

Here’s a thorough description of the Tebbetts Intranasal Osteotome:

Purpose:

• Precise removal of fragile interior nasal structures such as the vomer, ethmoid bone, and concha turbinates.
• This enables precise modification of the nasal structure to obtain the desired cosmetic and functional results in rhinoplasty.

Design Features:

• Intranasal access: Unlike several larger Tebbetts osteotomes, the intranasal variant is particularly intended to navigate the inside of the nose.
• Sharp blade: The device has a sharp tip or blade, which is essential for clean and controlled cuts through complicated bone structures.
• Ergonomic handle: The handle is meant to provide comfort and control during surgery. It frequently has a serrated, rectangular section for stability and grip while hitting the Osteotome.
• Rounded, knurled part allows for better manipulation and rotation with fingers, resulting in more exact bone modifications.
• The Osteotome is normally around 17.5 cm (6-7/8 inch) length. This enables for more control and prevents the surgeon’s hand from being accidently hit during tapping movements.
• Material: High-quality, medical-grade stainless steel provides durability, longevity, and a sharp cutting edge.

Benefits:

• Precision: The combination of a sharp blade and a well-designed grip enables for very precise bone cuts within the nasal cavity.
• Control: The ergonomic characteristics provide the surgeon more control during manipulation, reducing the danger of inadvertent tissue injury.
• Safety: The suitable length and design aspects contribute to surgeon safety by reducing unintentional hand injuries.
