The OR Grade TC Fomon Nasal Rasp 8″ Grits 7 and 8 is a specialized rhinoplasty instrument designed for controlled shaping, smoothing, and refinement of the nasal framework during plastic and reconstructive procedures. With an overall length of 8 inches and available in grits 7 and 8, this nasal rasp provides options for different levels of tissue and bone refinement according to the surgical technique.
The Fomon-style nasal rasp is commonly selected for procedures where controlled mechanical reduction and contouring of the nasal bones are required. Its working surface is designed to allow the surgeon to progressively refine the nasal structure while maintaining careful control of instrument movement. The combination of two grit options makes the instrument useful for different stages of nasal contouring.
The TC (tungsten carbide) working surface is designed to provide durable cutting and rasping characteristics for repeated professional use. Tungsten carbide is valued in surgical instrumentation for its hardness and resistance to wear, helping maintain the functional characteristics of the working surface when the instrument is properly handled and maintained.
The 8-inch length provides useful reach and handling during rhinoplasty procedures, while the rasp configuration supports controlled application within the operative field. The instrument can be incorporated into rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, nasal reconstruction, and selected plastic surgery instrument sets.
Grit selection is important when performing nasal bone refinement. Grit 7 and grit 8 provide different working characteristics, allowing clinicians to select the appropriate rasp according to the desired level of refinement and the specific stage of the procedure.
Designed for professional surgical environments, this OR Grade nasal rasp is suitable for use by qualified healthcare professionals following appropriate surgical protocols. After use, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected, dried, and sterilized according to validated facility procedures and applicable manufacturer recommendations.
