Dolwick TMJ instrument set
Set of instruments specific to open temporomandibular joint surgery, comprising a disc clamp, curved disc scissors, an elevator, a condylar hook and bone rasps.
How it is used
Open TMJ arthroplasty (discopexy, discectomy, condylar reshaping) for internal joint derangement refractory to conservative treatment and arthroscopy.
Clinical tip
The low-profile, angled disc scissors and clamp are designed to work within the narrow joint space without needing to excessively widen the preauricular approach.
