Davis Nasal Projectometer for Rhinoplasty
The Davis Nasal Projectometer is a specialized instrument used in rhinoplasty procedures for measuring and projecting nasal dimensions and angles. It is a valuable tool that helps plastic surgeons assess and plan the aesthetic and functional changes to the nasal structure during rhinoplasty surgery.
The Davis Nasal Projectometer typically consists of a lightweight, handheld device with several components, including:
Nasal ruler: This is a calibrated ruler or scale that is used to measure various nasal dimensions, such as nasal length, tip projection, nasal width, and other relevant anatomical landmarks.
Sliding arm: The sliding arm is used to adjust the nasal ruler to the desired position, allowing for precise measurements and projections.
Angled protractor: The protractor is used to measure and assess the angles of the nasal tip, dorsum, and other nasal features.
Fixation points: The Davis Nasal Projectometer may also have fixation points or reference markers that help secure the instrument in place during measurements.
The plastic surgeon can use the Davis Nasal Projectometer to make accurate measurements and projections of the nasal dimensions and angles, which can aid in preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative assessment of the surgical outcomes. It helps the surgeon achieve the desired aesthetic and functional changes to the nasal structure in a precise and controlled manner.
It’s important to note that the specific design and features of the Davis Nasal Projectometer may vary depending on the manufacturer. Plastic surgeons and their teams should follow appropriate usage guidelines and sterilization protocols for the Davis Nasal Projectometer, as well as any other surgical instruments, to ensure patient safety during rhinoplasty procedures. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional and use the instrument according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
