Tebbetts Alar Stabilizing-Jig

Description

The Tebbetts Alar Stabilizing-Jig is a surgical device intended for rhinoplasty treatments, not endoscopic surgery.

Here’s an overview of its main features:

Purpose:

• To stabilize and give reference points for sculpting the alar cartilage (the cartilage that forms the tip and bottom of the nose) during rhinoplasty.

Type:

• A stainless steel jig.

Design:

• Unique feature: tiny protruding pins and a millimeter scale.
• The pins stabilize and flatten the alar cartilage when put beneath.
• One pin indicates an important reference point: the alar dome point.
• Other pins serve as reference points for accurate cutting and retaining a suitable rim strip of cartilage.
