Fomon Osteotome, 17cm — Overview

The Fomon Osteotome (S5-112-00 family) is a 17cm rhinoplasty osteotome available in 5.0mm, 7.0mm, and 8.0mm widths, associated with Samuel Fomon, an early and influential figure in American rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery technique.

Three Widths

The 5.0mm width suits finer, more conservative nasal bone cuts; 7.0mm and 8.0mm cover broader cuts where more bone needs to be addressed in a single pass. This range gives surgeons practicing classic rhinoplasty technique the size options needed across typical nasal osteotomy work.

Clinical Use

This osteotome is used in rhinoplasty for nasal bone osteotomies, referencing the established Fomon technique lineage within facial plastic surgery.

Material and Construction

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

Sterilization and Care

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