Cakir Osteotome, 3mm, 17cm — Overview

The Cakir Osteotome, 3mm, 17cm (S5-136-17 family) is a fine-width bone-cutting instrument used in rhinoplasty and maxillofacial surgery, available in straight, curved-left, and curved-right configurations, associated with the Cakir refinements to nasal osteotomy technique alongside the matching Cakir nasal chisel and scratcher in this range.

3mm Blade Width

At 3mm, this is a fine-width osteotome suited to precise, controlled cuts in delicate areas of the nasal bony pyramid, where a wider blade would remove more bone than intended or lack the precision needed for a clean, predictable osteotomy line.

Straight and Curved Configurations

The straight version is used for direct linear osteotomy cuts; the curved-left and curved-right versions follow the natural curvature of the lateral nasal wall on each respective side, producing a cut that tracks the bone's contour more closely than a straight blade — the same principle underlying the curved options on the Anderson-Neivert osteotome elsewhere in this range, here at a finer 3mm width associated with the Cakir technique.

Clinical Use

This osteotome is used in rhinoplasty for precise nasal bone osteotomies, particularly where the Cakir technique or a finer blade width is specifically preferred, and in broader maxillofacial surgery for controlled bone-cutting.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a hardened, precisely ground cutting edge.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable across all configurations. The cutting edge should be inspected before each use for nicks or dulling.
