Gunter Septal Elevator

Description

The Gunter Septal Elevator is a surgical tool used in rhinoplasty treatments to elevate the tissue of the nose. Here are some relevant details about it:

Function

• It’s a double-ended elevator, which means it has two flat surfaces of varying diameters at each end.
• The bigger end is intended to raise the periosteum, a strong membrane that covers the bone.
• The smaller, more sensitive end is utilized to raise the perichondrium, which is the membrane that surrounds cartilage.

Benefits

• The double-ended design enables the surgeon to choose the appropriate tool for the operation based on the tissue being worked on during the rhinoplasty.
• Some Gunter Septal Elevators have pointed edges, allowing for more accurate tissue dissection.

Material

• Typically composed of high-quality, surgical-grade German stainless steel for durability and sanitation.

Things to Consider

• Gunter Septal Elevators available in a variety of sizes. The size used will be determined by the surgeon’s preferences and the particular requirements of the rhinoplasty surgery.
