Fomon Nasal Raspatory: Tungsten Carbide Precision for Rhinoplasty
The Fomon Nasal Raspatory is the gold standard for surgeons requiring long-lasting sharpness and efficiency in bone sculpting. This double-ended tool provides unparalleled surgical precision, allowing for a seamless transition between different grit levels during complex nasal reconstruction. At Adas Instruments, our manufacturing process integrates high-density Tungsten Carbide inlays into a German steel frame, ensuring that the abrasive surfaces remain effective through countless sterilization cycles. The gold-plated handles signify TC quality and provide a balanced ergonomic grip for delicate maneuvers.
Forged from high-grade German stainless steel and reinforced with TC, each Fomon raspatory is hand-finished with a satin-matte polish to eliminate distracting glare under surgical lamps. To preserve its structural integrity, every unit undergoes comprehensive ultrasonic cleaned protocols and deep passivation to resist the corrosive effects of standard sterilization. By utilizing these premium materials, we ensure maximum longevity of the rasp’s cutting capability, providing surgeons with a reliable, non-slip surface for smoothing dorsal humps and bony irregularities.
Care and Maintenance Section
To maintain the effectiveness of the Tungsten Carbide inlays, it is essential to clean the rasp immediately after use with a soft-bristle brush to remove bone fragments. We recommend using neutral pH detergents and standard autoclave cycles. To guarantee its safe arrival at your surgical facility, each instrument is supplied in a protective pack. Adas Instruments offers reliable shipping through top-tier couriers like DHL and FedEx, supporting the global surgical community with high-performance tools.

People Also Ask
What is the benefit of Tungsten Carbide inlays in a Fomon Rasp?
Tungsten Carbide (TC) is significantly harder than standard stainless steel, meaning the rasp teeth stay sharp much longer and provide a more precise, consistent cut.
What do the grit numbers (1/2 to 9/10) mean?
These numbers represent the coarseness of the teeth. 1/2 is Very Coarse for heavy bone removal, while 9/10 is Very Fine for final polishing and smoothing.
Is the Fomon Nasal Raspatory autoclavable?
Yes, it is made of German stainless steel with TC inlays and is fully autoclavable, passivated, and ultrasonically cleaned for professional reuse.
