A nasal file/rasp is a handheld surgical tool used in ENT and plastic surgery to carefully shape or reshape the cartilage and bone within the nose. Its textured or toothed working end allows precise removal or profiling of nasal tissue during procedures like rhinoplasty or nasal reconstruction.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable metals like stainless steel or titanium, and come in various sizes and shapes—often double-ended for versatility. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical use and risk profile, requiring compliance with medical device standards.
