Cartilage Cutting Block Teflon 85x55x10mm

The Cartilage Cutting Block Teflon 85 × 55 × 10 mm is a specialized surgical preparation block used for precise cartilage slicing, shaping, and graft preparation in nasal and facial reconstructive procedures. Designed primarily for plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, and maxillofacial specialists, it provides a stable, non-destructive surface for handling autologous tissue. Surgeons can easily source this instrument through our cartilage instruments catalog.

Surgeons and operating room teams also refer to this product as a PTFE cartilage cutting block, Teflon cartilage block, cartilage slicing block, rhinoplasty cartilage block, or septal cartilage cutting block.

Key Features

• ✔ Medical-Grade PTFE Construction: Solid Teflon block eliminates blade dulling while providing a dense, non-porous working surface.
• ✔ Surgical Non-Stick Surface: Non-porous material prevents autologous cartilage or soft tissue graft adhesion during delicate slicing.
• ✔ Ergonomic Surgical Slicing Block Footprint: 85 × 55 mm dimensions offer ample surface area for securing septal, costal, or conchal grafts.
• ✔ Preserves Scalpel Sharpness: Surface elasticity allows microtome blades and scalpels to slice through tissue without dulling the cutting edge.
• ✔ Steam Autoclavable: Resists thermal deformation and chemical degradation under standard operating room sterilization protocols.

Specifications

Clinical Applications

The Teflon cartilage cutting block is essential for back-table tissue preparation across several surgical specialties. Primary applications include:

• Rhinoplasty: Precision trimming of alar batten, spreader, and columellar strut grafts.
• Septoplasty: Straightening and sizing septal cartilage sectioning prior to reimplantation.
• Facial Reconstructive Surgery: Shaping costal (rib) and conchal (ear) graft material.
• General Plastic Surgery: Preparing uniform tissue slices without crushing delicate cellular structure.

Material & Sterilization

Manufactured from high-density surgical PTFE, this plastic surgery block withstands repeated high-temperature steam sterilization in standard operating room autoclaves. The inert polymer material resists stains, chemical degradation, and surface pitting, guaranteeing clean surgical graft slicing over extended clinical use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cartilage cutting block used for?

A cartilage cutting block provides a sterile, dense, non-stick surface for surgeons to slice, trim, and shape cartilage grafts during facial plastic and reconstructive procedures. It allows surgeons to make thin, uniform slices of tissue without dulling surgical scalpel blades or contaminating autologous graft material.

What is the difference between a Teflon cartilage block and a stainless steel cutting block?

A Teflon cartilage block features a slightly compliant PTFE surface that protects delicate scalpel edges from dulling during tissue preparation. Stainless steel preparation blocks provide a completely rigid surface but dull scalpel blades rapidly upon contact, making PTFE preferred for high-precision graft slicing.

Is the Teflon cartilage cutting block autoclavable?

Yes, the medical-grade PTFE material is fully autoclavable and withstands standard steam sterilization procedures used in surgical centers. It retains structural integrity and non-stick performance across repeated autoclave cycles.

Can Healermed Instruments provide custom branding and OEM production for this product?

Yes, Healermed Instruments offers custom laser etching, OEM packaging, and private label manufacturing for surgical distributors and hospital supply networks worldwide. Custom dimensions and specialized toolings can be developed according to client specifications.
