Cartilage knife.


[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

The KURZ[R] Precise Cartilage Knife is designed to simplify the cutting of cartilage grafts of defined thickness (0.1 to 0.7 mm), usually needed for plastic repair of tympanic membrane defects, covering of middle ear implants, or reconstruction of the posterior auditory canal wall. It slices both tragus and concha cartilage with one cut, according to the manufacturer. The new design of the cartilage knife makes it easier to clean than the former groove design of the blade holder and screws.

This knife comes in an instrument tray with blade holder, cutting block, distance plates, and sterile blades.
