Lewis Nasal Rasps

Description

The Lewis Nasal Rasp is a sophisticated surgical device used for accurate bone contouring during rhinoplasty, often known as nose reshaping treatments. It’s an essential tool in a plastic surgeon’s toolbox, enabling for the production of a smoother, more aesthetically attractive nasal structure.

Function:

• The Lewis Nasal Rasp’s principal purpose is to restructure the nose’s bony components. Surgeons utilize it to carefully remove extra bone, level uneven surfaces, and improve the overall nose profile. This may include duties such as removing roughness, narrowing the bridge, or defining the tip.
• Creating Smooth Transitions: By allowing for regulated bone removal, Lewis Rasps contribute to a natural-looking result. Sharp edges and protrusions may irritate adjacent soft tissues, causing pain. The rasp makes these transitions smooth, facilitating excellent healing and a natural appearance.

Design:

• Ergonomic grip: The Lewis Nasal Rasp has an ergonomically designed grip that improves control and accuracy during surgery. The handle’s shape and size enable surgeons to securely hold the device and perform delicate movements inside the nasal cavity.
• The working end of the rasp has a long and thin shaft, which allows for easier access to deeper sections of the nose. This is critical for accessing bone structures that may be hidden by nasal tissues.
• Most Lewis Nasal Rasps include double-sided blades with variable degrees of coarseness. A fine-toothed surface offers more precise control for tiny improvements, whilst a coarse-toothed surface enables for speedier removal of bigger bone imperfections.
• Lewis Nasal Rasps are normally made of high-quality stainless steel, which ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion in the surgical environment. Some varieties may additionally use tungsten carbide blades to provide very sharp and long-lasting cutting edges.
