Fomon rasp
A long-handled instrument with an abrasive surface at the tip, available in different grits, designed to rasp the nasal bone.
How it is used
Used in rhinoplasty to smooth and refine bony irregularities of the nasal dorsum after osteotomy, achieving a smooth contour.
Clinical tip
It is used with a unidirectional motion to avoid roughening the bony surface and minimize the risk of irregular callus formation.
