Description

Nasal Tip Projection and Nasolabial Angle Measurement in Open Rhinoplasty

The Davis Nasal Projectometer is a nasal measuring instrument in the Measuring & Marking Instruments category, designed by Richard Davis, MD and manufactured by BusinessMed Instruments®. It is indicated for use in Plastic Surgery, ENT (Otorhinolaryngology), and Rhinoplasty.

The Davis Nasal Projectometer measures nasal tip projection, radix height, rhinion position, and nasolabial angle across the osseocartilaginous nasal vault and anterior nasal spine during open rhinoplasty, in the post-skin-soft-tissue-envelope-elevation measurement phase.

Dual-Axis Independent X-Y Calibration

The Dual-Axis Independent X-Y Calibration system separates horizontal tip projection measurement and vertical dorsal height measurement into independent metric scales within a single instrument placement. The Dental Stop seats on the maxillary alveolar crest to establish the zero-reference baseline. The Notched Forehead Base constrains midline alignment. User-Friendly Independent Thumb Screw Calibration locks each axis independently after registration, preventing pin drift.

Tilting Nasolabial Pin and Sliding Tip-Defining Pin

The Tilting Nasolabial Pin rotates through a 0°–130° arc at the columellar-labial junction to read the nasolabial angle on an angular scale. This rotational mechanism is physically independent of the Sliding Tip-Defining Pin, which translates linearly along the X-axis on a 0–70 mm metric scale to record tip projection distance from the zero-reference baseline. Three Removable Customization Pins allow substitution of the working-end pins to accommodate patient-specific anatomical variation and alternate measurement reference configurations.

Intraoperative Projection Data and Pollybeak Deformity Prevention

The Davis Nasal Projectometer produces surface-only contact at the maxillary alveolar crest and pronatale — no tissue cutting, penetration, or structural deformation occurs at clinical measurement pressure. This contact profile enables the Davis Nasal Projectometer to deliver four-point metric data against the Goode method benchmark (tip projection equal to approximately 0.55–0.60 of nasal length), supporting objective prevention of pollybeak deformity.

Clinical Uses and Applications

  • Nasal tip projection at the pronatale is measured in open rhinoplasty to determine the exact quantity of dorsal reduction required.
  • The osseocartilaginous nasal vault is referenced intraoperatively in rhinoplasty to establish radix height and rhinion position across the dorsal profile.
  • The nasolabial angle is assessed at the columellar-labial junction in open rhinoplasty to quantify nasal rotation and plan caudal septal modification.
  • The anterior nasal spine is contacted via the Dental Stop in open rhinoplasty to establish the zero-reference baseline for all four measurement points.
  • The skin-soft tissue envelope is referenced at the pronatale in open rhinoplasty after SSTE elevation to register the tip-defining point against the baseline.
  • The supratip break is evaluated intraoperatively in rhinoplasty to confirm intended dorsal aesthetic relative to the tip-defining points.
  • The alar-columellar relationship is assessed during open rhinoplasty to correlate tip projection data with columellar show and rotational outcome.
  • Nasal tip projection and nasolabial angle are measured in ENT-performed rhinoplasty procedures to quantify projection and rotation against sex- and ethnicity-specific norms.

  • Rubin Osteotome — used in open rhinoplasty for dorsal hump reduction at the osseocartilaginous nasal vault
  • Nasal Bone Rasp — used in open rhinoplasty for bony dorsum smoothing following hump reduction
  • Cottle Elevator — used in open rhinoplasty for submucoperichondrial dissection of the nasal septum

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Davis Nasal Projectometer measure nasal tip projection?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer measures nasal tip projection by seating the Dental Stop on the maxillary alveolar crest to establish a zero-reference baseline, then advancing the Sliding Tip-Defining Pin along a 0–70 mm calibrated metric X-axis scale to locate the pronatale. Independent Thumb Screw Calibration locks the reading without pin drift.

What is the nasolabial pin angle range on the Davis Nasal Projectometer?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer’s Tilting Nasolabial Pin rotates through a 0°–130° arc at the columellar-labial junction, accommodating the full clinical range of nasolabial angles documented across sex and ethnic groups — from the 90°–95° male leptorrhine norm to more acute angles in mesorrhine and platyrrhine patients.

What nasal measurements does the Davis Projectometer record in a single placement?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer records four measurement points in a single placement: radix height, rhinion position, nasal tip projection at the pronatale, and nasolabial angle. These four values are delivered by the Four-Point Metric system via Dual-Axis Independent X-Y Calibration, with each axis locked independently by thumb screw.

What is a nasal projectometer used for in rhinoplasty?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer is used in the post-skin-soft-tissue-envelope-elevation phase of open rhinoplasty to provide objective metric data before the surgeon commits to dorsal reduction or tip grafting. The four-point data set allows the surgeon to determine reduction quantity against the Goode method benchmark of 0.55–0.60 tip-to-nasal-length ratio.

How does the Davis Projectometer help prevent pollybeak deformity?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer delivers objective intraoperative measurement of nasal tip projection and anterior septal angle relationship before dorsal reduction is performed. Pollybeak deformity — the most common complication requiring revision rhinoplasty — results from under-resection of the cartilaginous dorsum or relative tip underprojection, both of which four-point metric measurement identifies before the reduction decision is committed.

What material is the Davis Nasal Projectometer made from?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer is manufactured from 420-Series Martensitic German Steel with a Satin / Non-Reflective finish. The instrument undergoes a validated passivation protocol for advanced corrosion resistance and is fully autoclavable and sterilizable, validated against HTM 01-01 and ISO 17664 reprocessing protocols.

Does the Davis Nasal Projectometer accommodate different patient anatomies?

The Davis Nasal Projectometer includes 3 Removable Customization Pins that allow substitution of working-end pins to accommodate patient-specific anatomical variation. The Tilting Nasolabial Pin rotates at the columellar-labial junction to read the nasolabial angle on a graduated angular scale, covering the range of variation seen across male and female patients as well as differing nasal profiles including mesorrhine and leptorrhine anatomies.
