Product Overview
The 554049 Freer Lacrimal Chisel is a hyper-precision bone-cutting instrument characterized by its substantial 5.8×12mm single-ended chisel blade and a robust impact-absorbing handle architecture. Engineered to operate with complete predictability during high-stakes lacrimal sac exposures and dacryocystorhinostomies, this instrument allows the surgeon to comfortably bridge the delicate margin between the lacrimal bone and the frontal process of the maxilla. Forged from ultra-hardened, high-tensile surgical steel, the hand-honed bevel engages bone surfaces with uniform stability. This clean mechanical shearing action allows for controlled bone removal under manual or mallet pressure, ensuring clean fracture lines and optimizing the surgical ostium window.
Key Features
-
Precision 5.8×12mm Chisel Blade: Features a meticulously micro-planed, single-beveled cutting face measuring 5.8mm in width by 12mm in total blade length. This broad, optimized geometry distributes mechanical force evenly to shave thin layers of dense bone cleanly without fracturing wider orbital walls.
-
Atraumatic Low-Profile Guidance: Despite its robust bone-shearing capabilities, the outer margins of the chisel head are hand-polished to eliminate burrs. This protects the delicate lacrimal sac mucosa and nasal epithelium from accidental laceration during instrument advancement.
-
Impact-Ready Structural Core: The instrument is engineered from a single solid piece of hardened steel from tip to base, allowing it to easily absorb and smoothly transmit mechanical energy from a surgical mallet without vibrating or flexing in the hand.
-
Glance-Free Satin Finish: Hand-beveled with an anti-reflective satin coating that dampens the intense illumination of surgical headlights or microscopes, minimizing visual glare and maximizing procedural clarity.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, high-density stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise cutting edge sharpness, bevel alignment, and structural integrity through thousands of high-impact procedures and high-heat sterilization cycles.
