The OR Grade TC Fomon Nasal Rasp 8″ Grits 9 and 10 is a specialized rhinoplasty instrument designed for controlled reshaping and refinement of the nasal framework. Commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, this nasal rasp assists surgeons in smoothing irregularities and refining bone contours during nasal procedures.
The instrument features a Tungsten Carbide (TC) working surface, providing a durable abrasive edge intended for repeated surgical use. The availability of grits 9 and 10 allows clinicians to select an appropriate level of abrasiveness according to the stage of nasal contouring and finishing required.
With an overall length of 8 inches, the Fomon-style nasal rasp provides practical reach and handling during rhinoplasty procedures. Its design supports controlled strokes and progressive contouring, helping the surgeon work accurately around the nasal bones while maintaining appropriate instrument control.
The rasp may be used during open or closed rhinoplasty, nasal reconstruction, corrective nasal surgery, and other plastic surgery procedures requiring controlled bone filing or contour refinement. It is particularly useful when precise adjustment of the nasal profile is required following osteotomy or other reshaping techniques.
The TC Fomon Nasal Rasp is suitable for professional surgical environments where reliable instrument performance, precision, and durability are important. As a reusable surgical instrument, it should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected, dried, and sterilized according to validated facility procedures and the manufacturer’s applicable instructions.
