A paranasal sinus trephine is a surgical tool used in ENT procedures to precisely remove small, circular sections of bone or tissue from the sinus cavities. It is commonly employed during sinus surgery to create openings for drainage or to access blocked areas, improving airflow and reducing infection risk.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel, and may be hand-held or attached to powered surgical instruments. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical function and risk level, requiring compliance with medical device safety and performance standards.
