Cartilage and Bone Instruments for Plastic Surgery
Work on cartilage and bone calls for instruments that grip, shape and cut without slipping. In rhinoplasty and other reconstructive procedures, a few millimetres can change the result, so the surgeon needs tools with a predictable feel. Our plastic surgery cartilage and bone instruments collection brings together morselizers, abraders, crushers, bending forceps and a bone mill for plastic surgeons, residents and hospital purchasing teams who want clearly described instruments at clear prices. Whether you are equipping an operating theatre, an aesthetic surgery centre or a teaching hospital, you can compare each instrument and build a set for your technique.
Types of Cartilage and Bone Instruments We Offer
Septal morselizer forceps. The Rubin TC Septal Morselizer Forceps are tungsten carbide instruments used to break down septal cartilage. A protective guard is also listed for the Rubin pattern.
Cartilage abraders. The Dingman Cartilage Abraders come as a set of two regular size instruments, which suits surgeons who want to smooth and refine cartilage edges.
Cartilage crushers. The Gubisch Cartilage Crusher is a 65 x 30 mm instrument for crushing cartilage so it can be shaped or placed more easily.
Bone bending forceps. The Obwegeser Bone Bending Forceps are 17.5 cm with a concave design for bending and positioning bone.
Bone processing. The Bone Mill With Assembling Wrench is a surgical bone processing instrument for preparing bone material.
Cutting. The Supercut Plus TC Mayo Scissors offer a tungsten carbide cutting edge for tissue work alongside cartilage procedures.
Why Instrument Quality Matters
Cartilage and bone resist the instrument, so a loose joint, a dull edge or a poorly aligned tip quickly shows. Smooth action, matched jaws and a firm grip help you apply even pressure without slipping. Reliable instruments also keep a case moving, because fewer adjustments and replacements mean fewer interruptions for the surgical team. Check the specifications on each product page, then protect your instruments between cases in sterilization baskets and follow your facility's reprocessing protocol.
How to Choose the Right Instruments
-
Procedure: Match the instrument to the task, such as morselizing, smoothing, crushing, bending or milling.
-
Size: Check lengths and dimensions, for example the 17.5 cm bending forceps or the 65 x 30 mm crusher.
-
Edge type: Tungsten carbide edges hold their sharpness well, so consider them for cutting instruments you use often.
-
Set planning: List what each case needs and add spares for high-use items, then check each listing first.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are cartilage and bone instruments used for in plastic surgery?
They are used to cut, crush, smooth, bend and position cartilage and bone during procedures such as rhinoplasty and reconstruction. Browse the full cartilage and bone instruments collection to see the available patterns.
2. What is a septal morselizer used for?
A septal morselizer breaks septal cartilage into smaller pieces so the surgeon can reshape or reuse it. The Rubin TC Septal Morselizer Forceps are one example.
3. What does TC mean on surgical instruments?
TC stands for tungsten carbide, a hard material used for jaw inserts and cutting edges. It holds its sharpness well and is often used on scissors and forceps that see heavy use.
4. Can these instruments be sterilized and reused?
Reusable surgical instruments are designed to be cleaned and sterilized between cases. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your facility's protocol, and take apart instruments such as the bone mill where the instructions require it.
5. Do you ship internationally, and is shipping free?
Yes, we ship worldwide, and orders above $99 qualify for free shipping. Delivery details are in our shipping policy, and you can reach our team through the contact page.
