A cartilage knife is a precision surgical tool used for cutting, shaping, or trimming cartilage during orthopedic or reconstructive procedures. Its long, scalpel-like blade allows surgeons to perform delicate tissue modifications with control, often in joint surgeries or cartilage grafts.
These devices are typically reusable, made from high-grade stainless steel, and regulated as surgical instruments. They may also be used in pathology for cartilage specimen preparation, though their primary clinical role remains in operative settings.
