A frontal sinus file/rasp is a hand-held surgical instrument used in ear, nose, and throat procedures to scrape, clean, and enlarge the frontal sinus cavities. Its distal working end features coarse or fine grooves or teeth, and it is designed for manual use during surgery to remove bone or tissue and improve sinus drainage.
This device is available in two primary designs: a one-piece version with circular cutting ridges at the tip and a handle, or a tubular version that integrates suction and features a rasp-coated working end. It is constructed from metal such as stainless steel or titanium and is intended for reuse after proper cleaning and sterilization.
