A nasal chisel is a surgical tool designed specifically for ENT procedures, used to precisely cut and reshape the nasal bones. Surgeons employ it to adjust bone structure during rhinoplasty or fracture repairs, striking the instrument’s handle with a mallet to deliver controlled force to the cutting edge.
These reusable instruments are typically made from high-grade stainless steel and come in various blade shapes, including flat or concave designs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to medical device standards, ensuring safety and performance in clinical use.
