Cakir 90° Nasal Chisel, 18.5cm — Overview

The Cakir 90° Nasal Chisel (S5-126-00 family) is an 18.5cm bone-cutting instrument with a blade set at a 90-degree angle to the shaft, available in 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, and 7.0mm widths, used in rhinoplasty and maxillofacial surgery for precise, angled bone cuts that a straight chisel or osteotome cannot easily reach.

Why a 90° Angled Blade

Certain areas of the nasal bony pyramid, particularly along the lateral wall or at specific osteotomy angles, are difficult to approach with a straight in-line chisel without an awkward hand or wrist position. The 90-degree angled blade on the Cakir chisel lets the surgeon approach these areas with the shaft held at a more natural, controllable angle relative to the face, improving precision and control for these specific angled cuts — a design associated with rhinoplasty specialist Cemal Cakir's refinements to nasal osteotomy technique.

Four Blade Widths

The 3.0mm and 4.0mm widths suit finer, more precise cuts in delicate areas of the nasal bone; the 5.0mm and 7.0mm widths are used for broader cuts or where more bone needs to be addressed in a single pass. Stocking the full range lets the surgeon match blade width to the specific osteotomy or contouring need.

Clinical Use

This chisel is used in rhinoplasty for precise angled osteotomies and bone contouring of the nasal pyramid, and in broader maxillofacial surgery wherever a 90-degree angled bone-cutting approach is needed.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a hardened, precisely ground cutting edge at the 90-degree blade angle.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable across all widths. The cutting edge should be inspected before each use for nicks or dulling, given how directly blade sharpness affects the precision of an angled osteotomy.
