About the Cinelli Osteotome
The Cinelli osteotome is a nasal osteotome usually made with a double guard: small flanges on each side of the cutting edge. Registry entries from several makers describe Cinelli osteotomes as "double-guarded", in straight and curved forms.
Like other plastic surgery osteotomes it is driven by a mallet and is used to cut or shape small bones of the nose. In catalogues, the double guard is the feature that sets it apart from single-guarded nasal patterns such as the Neivert.
Overall length is similar across makers, while cutting widths are offered in a series; check whether a straight or curved blade is required.
