Abstract
Key points
The angled tip and small size of the crescent blade provide versatility for its use in a variety of endonasal procedures.
The crescent blade enables cutting along 180° from the tip, ensuring a tangential cut through the mucosa, which is important for flap viability.
The disposable nature of the blade ensures that it is always sharp, allowing for its use in mucosal and cartilaginous cuts.
