Antrum Punch

The Antrum Punch is a surgical instrument of this type, designed for creating and enlarging openings in the antrum. Instruments of this type are applied in ENT and sinus surgery, where controlled, repeatable engagement of tissue or vessels is required, and where the surgeon needs a dependable instrument geometry that behaves predictably from one procedure to the next. This product is catalogued by its instrument type and physical configuration rather than by a named eponym pattern, so it is identified through its instrument type, dimensions, and article number. It is represented as a single product family that consolidates 6 related configurations under one catalog entry. Consolidating the configurations in this way lets procurement teams evaluate the full range of available sizes and options side by side, and select the required variation without having to search through separate, fragmented records.

Design characteristics. Based strictly on the catalogued specifications, the working portion is offered in straight and angled form, allowing the approach angle to be matched to the operative field, angled working profiles are catalogued at 45 °, and additional catalogued features include MACKAY-, -, GRUENWALD, and upwards. Each of these characteristics is taken directly from the source catalog; no jaw, tip, material, or dimensional attribute has been inferred or added. Where the catalog does not state an attribute, it is intentionally omitted rather than estimated.

Configuration options. This is a variable product offered in 6 distinct, individually catalogued variations. Catalogued sizes include 3 mm, 3.50 mm, and 1.50 mm. Curvature choices span straight and angled. The individually catalogued variations are: Antrum Punch, Straight; MACKAY-, -, GRUENWALD, 3 mm; Antrum Punch, Straight; MACKAY-, -, GRUENWALD, 3.50 mm; Antrum Punch, Angled; MACKAY-, 45.0 °, GRUENWALD, upwards, 3 mm; Antrum Punch, Angled; MACKAY-, 45.0 °, GRUENWALD, upwards, 3.50 mm; Antrum Punch, Straight; -, 1.50 mm; Antrum Punch, Angled; -, 45.0 °, upwards, 1.50 mm. Every variation carries its own catalog (article) number and exact dimensional data, and the variation list should be consulted for the precise specification of each option before an order is placed, so that the correct size and configuration are selected.

Applications. As a antrum punch, this instrument is used for creating and enlarging openings in the antrum; its defined field of use is ENT and sinus surgery. In practice the working tip is brought into contact with the target tissue or vessel, and the catalogued straight and angled profile determines how it is applied. The applications stated here reflect the defined function of this instrument type and are not extended with procedure-specific or outcome claims; intended clinical use should always be confirmed against institutional protocols.

Identification and procurement. The instrument is identified by its instrument type, configuration, and catalog article number, which keeps reordering and stock reconciliation unambiguous. It sits within the Clamps and Forceps category of the Surgical Instruments range. For procurement teams, the family record groups every available configuration in one place, which supports accurate purchase orders, tender responses, and inventory coding.
