Ballenger Swivel Knife – Straight or Bayonet, 3 or 4 mm
$24.00
BusinessMed® Ballenger Swivel Knife is a Ballenger knife whose small blade swivels between two prongs at the end of the shaft, made in straight and bayonet forms with 3 or 4 mm blades, used to excise septal cartilage in submucous resection of the nasal septum.
- Long shaft
- Grooved handle
- German stainless steel, satin finish
BusinessMed® Ballenger Swivel Knife lets the blade turn to face whichever way the instrument is pushed, so the cut follows the direction of travel through the septal cartilage without the hand changing position.
What is a Ballenger swivel knife used for?
- Submucous resection of the septum: excising septal cartilage — the septum knife long described for this step.
- Septoplasty: cartilage resection in septal surgery; a nasal knife among the long-standing septoplasty instruments.

Choosing straight or bayonet, 3 or 4 mm
The bayonet shaft steps the handle to one side, so the hand sits outside the line of sight into the nose; the straight shaft keeps one axis from handle to blade. The 3 mm blade removes a narrower strip of cartilage than the 4 mm blade.
