{"title":"Halle Instruments","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Halle patterns are rhinology instruments — the nasal speculum for opening and lighting the nasal vestibule, and the ethmoid curette for working in the ethmoid air cells behind it.

Too short and the blades do not reach past the vestibule, so the nasal cavity stays closed beyond them. Too long and the blades press on the septum and lateral wall, which is uncomfortable for an awake patient and can cause mucosal trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe graduated sizes exist for exactly this reason: 32mm blades for an adult nose, 30mm for a child, and the Fig. 2\/3 infant pattern for the smallest airways. A clinic seeing mixed ages needs at least the adult and child sizes, not one compromise size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatient size.\u003c\/strong\u003e Start from the patient, not the procedure.
