Dingman Cartilage Abrader Set – Set of Two (Right & Left)

The Dingman Cartilage Abrader Set from Delta Med Surgical is essential for surgeons who demand anatomical accuracy in ear reshaping. Achieving a natural-looking antihelical fold requires weakening the cartilage's "spring" from a posterior approach. By providing a mirrored pair—one curved for the Right Ear and one for the Left Ear—this set allows the surgeon to follow the natural helical contour with consistent pressure and ergonomic ease.

Key Performance Features

• Mirrored Anatomical Geometry: The set includes two 15cm (6") instruments with opposing curvatures. This ensures that the surgeon can reach the superior and inferior crus of both ears with the same level of precision, regardless of the angle.
• Controlled "Micro-Scoring" Surface: The underside of each tip features a high-grit, precision-etched abrasion surface. This allows for the controlled thinning of the cartilage, enabling it to be folded smoothly without the sharp edges or fractures caused by traditional scalpel-scoring.
• Atraumatic Convex Back: The outer (convex) side of the abrader is polished to a high-mirror finish. This "Safety Back" design protects the anterior skin of the ear from friction burns or thinning while the surgeon is abrading the underlying cartilage.
• Enhanced Tactile Feedback: Forged from lightweight yet durable German steel, these instruments provide the surgeon with a high degree of tactile sensitivity, allowing them to feel the exact thickness of the cartilage as it is being thinned.

The Delta Med Surgical Quality Standard

Manufactured from Premium Operating Room Grade German Stainless Steel, this set is built to maintain its abrasive integrity over hundreds of procedures. Both instruments are fully autoclavable (134°C), corrosion-resistant, and manufactured under strict CE, ISO 13485, and FDA guidelines.
