Description

Masing Septum Elevator is a double-ended instrument used for lifting and separating tissue during nasal and septal procedures. It measures 20 cm (8″) in length and has a slim shaft with a working end on each side. Having two ends makes it handy when the surgeon needs to change the shape or size of the tip without reaching for another instrument.

The two working ends are different in size, giving the instrument some flexibility during septal work. Both ends are smooth and blunt, rather than sharp, so they can be used to lift tissue and separate tissue planes without acting like a cutting instrument.

This type of elevator is commonly used during septoplasty and rhinoplasty, particularly when the mucosa needs to be lifted from the septal cartilage or surrounding structures. The narrow ends can be worked into the space around the septum, while the long shaft keeps the hand back from the surgical area.

At 20 cm (8″) long, the elevator gives enough reach for work inside the nose without being difficult to control. The central handle is broad and flat, while the shafts on either side remain narrow. This gives the user a firm place to hold the instrument and makes it easier to guide either working end with small movements.

The instrument is made from surgical stainless steel, with a smooth finish suited to repeated surgical use. The working ends should be checked for dents, rough spots, or changes in shape before use. The shaft and handle should also be inspected for damage, and the instrument should be properly cleaned and sterilized as part of routine surgical instrument care.

For septal procedures that call for a blunt elevator with more than one working end, Masing Septum Elevator offers a simple design that is easy to handle. Its 20 cm (8″) length and double-ended construction make it useful for lifting and separating tissue during septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and related nasal procedures.
