Aufricht Nasal Rasp

Description

The Aufricht nasal rasp is a specialist surgical equipment used in rhinoplasty treatments to shape the nasal bone and cartilage.

Function:

• Designed to precisely reduce (shave down) bony lumps and uneven cartilage on the nose.
  Helps create the appropriate nose profile by molding the bone and cartilage for a smoother, more polished look.

Design:

• Fine-tipped rasp: Allows for the controlled and focused removal of tiny bumps or imperfections.
• Overall length: Usually approximately 8-1/4 inches (21.0 cm) for easy manipulation within the nasal canal.
• Curved design: Makes it easier to move and file around the nose’s features, particularly in sensitive places.
• Serrated cutting styles are available in upwards, downwards, or cross-serrated patterns, depending on the surgeon’s choice and the shape desired. Upward and downward rasps focus shaving in a certain direction, whilst the cross-serrated variant (which is no longer widely available) provides a more severe reduction.
• Material: Made of high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel for strength and resistance to corrosion.
• Ergonomic design: Provides a balanced weight and comfortable handling for the surgeon, increasing control and accuracy throughout the process.

Benefits:

• Allows for controlled and exact sculpting of bone and cartilage, resulting in a natural appearance.
• The small tip and focused action reduce the danger of causing injury to neighboring tissues.
• Provides multiple rasp configurations to meet the individual demands of rhinoplasty surgery.
• The ergonomic design decreases hand fatigue during lengthy treatments.
