Mallets and Cartilage Instruments

ADMIRE SURGICAL ’s Plastic surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on enhancing and restoring a person’s appearance, often involving intricate procedures to reshape and refine various facial and bodily features. Two essential elements in the toolkit of a plastic surgeon are mallets and cartilage. These seemingly simple instruments and materials play a crucial role in sculpting beauty and function during various plastic surgery procedures.

Mallets in Plastic Surgery:

Mallets are specialized tools used in plastic surgery to shape and manipulate bone and cartilage. They come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific tasks. The primary purpose of mallets in plastic surgery is to delicately and precisely reshape facial bones or grafts, such as those made from cartilage or synthetic materials.

Cartilage in Plastic Surgery:

Cartilage, a flexible and resilient connective tissue found in various parts of the body, is another essential element in plastic surgery. In many cases, surgeons use cartilage grafts harvested from the patient’s own body, typically from the nasal septum or ear, to reshape and rebuild facial features. Cartilage is an ideal material for these purposes due to its strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility.
