Schuknecht Roller Knife with Perpendicular Blade
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Schuknecht Roller Knife with Perpendicular Blade is a specialized instrument designed for precise incisions in microsurgical and otologic procedures. The roller blade mechanism allows for controlled, consistent cutting, while the perpendicular orientation of the blade ensures optimal tissue separation with minimal trauma. This design makes it an essential tool in ear surgery, particularly in stapedotomy and tympanoplasty procedures, where delicate incisions are required.
- Perpendicular Roller Blade for Controlled Cutting: Ensures precise, uniform incisions, which minimizes tissue damage.
- Long, Slender Shaft for Deep Surgical Access: Allows for enhanced maneuverability in confined spaces, such as the middle ear and nasal cavity.
- Rotating Blade for Smooth, Continuous Incisions: Reduces drag and resistance, improving precision and consistency.
Applications:
- Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery): Commonly used in ear procedures, including stapedotomy and tympanoplasty, where delicate incisions are necessary.
- Microsurgery: Ideal for procedures requiring fine, controlled cuts in sensitive or confined areas.
- Nasal Surgery: Can assist in nasal mucosal incisions, ensuring accuracy with minimal trauma.
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Used in procedures where precise tissue cutting is essential for aesthetic and functional outcomes.
- Myringotomy: Used to create precise incisions in the tympanic membrane, facilitating fluid drainage and tympanostomy tube placement.
The Schuknecht Roller Knife is named after Dr. Harold F. Schuknecht, a pioneering otologist known for advancing microsurgical techniques in ear surgery. It may also be referred to as a Schuknecht Perpendicular Blade Knife or Schuknecht Stapedotomy Knife.
