McIndoe Nasal Rasp Tungsten Carbide (TC): Superior Durability for Rhinoplasty
The McIndoe Nasal Rasp Tungsten Carbide is a premium instrument designed for the fine contouring of nasal bones. Manufactured by Adas Instruments, this rasp features a hard-wearing Tungsten Carbide (TC) insert that provides an aggressive yet smooth cutting action. It is essential for smoothing the bony dorsum (hump removal) and refining the lateral nasal walls during rhinoplasty.
Advanced Surgical Grade Construction
Crafted with a German Stainless Steel handle and a bonded TC insert, this instrument offers superior longevity. The TC Nasal Rasp teeth remain sharp through hundreds of procedures, unlike standard steel rasps that dull quickly. The cross-cut pattern ensures efficient bone removal on the pull stroke with minimal effort.
This instrument is specifically designed to excel in various surgical procedures, including Rhinoplasty Bone Rasp applications and general Bone Contouring. Its precise design makes it ideal for handling nasal bone irregularities with minimal trauma.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Perform ultrasonic cleaning immediately after use to remove bone dust from the TC grooves. Use a nylon brush (never metal) to clean the teeth.
- Sterilization: Fully autoclavable. Recommended cycle: 134°C (273°F).
- Protection: Store separately or with tip protectors to prevent the hard TC insert from chipping against other instruments.
- Inspection: Periodically check the TC insert for chips or wear to maintain surgical precision.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why choose Tungsten Carbide over standard steel?
A: Tungsten Carbide is significantly harder than steel. It holds a sharper edge for much longer, providing consistent performance over years of use, which is critical for smoothing hard bone.
Q: How do I identify a TC instrument?
A: All our Tungsten Carbide instruments feature Gold-Plated Handles for instant visual identification in the surgical tray.
Q: Is this rasp single or double-ended?
A: The McIndoe rasp is a single-ended instrument, providing a solid, ergonomic handle for maximum control during rasping.
