Plastic surgery files and rasps are handheld manual instruments used to precisely shape and smooth hard tissues like bone or cartilage during procedures such as rhinoplasty or facial contouring. Their coarse or fine grooves and sharp projections allow surgeons to remove small amounts of tissue or refine contours with controlled precision.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable metals like stainless steel or titanium, and designed for single-patient use per sterile processing. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use rather than the category itself.
