McKenty Nasal Septum Elevator

McKenty Nasal Septum Elevator for Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty

The McKenty Nasal Septum Elevator is a specialized ENT instrument used to elevate and separate the nasal mucoperichondrium and mucoperiosteum from the underlying septal cartilage and bone during septoplasty, functional rhinoplasty, and cosmetic nasal surgery. Its single-ended, curved blade with 4mm and 5mm tip options allows surgeons to follow the septum with precision, creating clean dissection planes while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Manufactured by Adas Instruments from high-quality stainless steel, this septum elevator combines a slim 6″ (15cm) shaft with a comfortable handle to provide a stable grip and fine control inside narrow nasal cavities. With fast worldwide delivery, including shipping to the USA via DHL, FedEx, and UPS, it is a dependable choice for ENT clinics, hospitals,s and facial plastic surgery centers.

Why Surgeons Choose Our McKenty Nasal Septum Elevator

Surgeons choose the McKenty Nasal Septum Elevator for its balance of delicacy, strength, and ergonomic handling in septal surgery. The single-ended, curved blade provides predictable tactile feedback when lifting the mucoperichondrial and mucoperiosteal layers, helping surgeons avoid inadvertent perforations or uneven dissection. Two tip sizes, 4mm and 5mm, allow better adaptation to patient anatomy and surgeon preference, supporting precise work in both narrow and slightly wider septal corridors. Built for repeated sterilization and long-term use, this instrument helps ENT and facial plastic surgeons perform accurate septum elevation with confidence and consistency.

Surgical Applications

• Elevation of the nasal mucoperichondrium and mucoperiosteum from septal cartilage and bone in septoplasty procedures.
• Septum elevation and tissue separation in functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty.
• Nasal reconstructive surgery requiring controlled septal dissection and exposure.
• Correction of septal deviations and deformities where precise elevation of septal tissue is necessary.
• General ENT nasal surgery where atraumatic elevation of septal soft tissues is required.
