Neves Cartilage Dicer®

The Neves cartilage dicer is a stainless steel device that prepares diced cartilage grafts for rhinoplasty within seconds. Designed by the rhinoplasty surgeon Dr. José Carlos Martín Neves, it connects to universal E-type micromotors and turns harvested cartilage into small, uniform pieces ready for grafting.

What Is the Neves Cartilage Dicer?

Diced cartilage is widely used in rhinoplasty to smooth and augment the nasal dorsum and to camouflage irregularities. Dicing cartilage by hand with a blade is slow and the pieces vary in size. The Neves cartilage dicer places the cartilage in a closed chamber where a rotating blade, driven by the micromotor, cuts it into uniform pieces in a few seconds.

Features of the Neves Cartilage Dicer

• Fast preparation: diced cartilage within seconds.
• Uniform pieces: consistent graft size for smooth results.
• E-type connection: fits universal E-type micromotors and drill systems.
• Stainless steel: durable, reusable construction.
• Easy to disassemble: connector, blade and chamber separate for cleaning.
• Surgeon-designed: developed by Dr. José Carlos Martín Neves.

Why Use a Cartilage Dicer in Rhinoplasty?

Hand dicing adds time to every operation and gives pieces of uneven size. The Neves cartilage dicer saves time in the operating room and produces consistent diced cartilage, which is easier to pack into fascia or use as free grafts. Its closed chamber also keeps the cartilage together without loss.

Benefits for the Surgical Team

Preparing diced cartilage is a repetitive task that can take several minutes per case. A dedicated dicer shortens this step, frees the assistant for other tasks and gives the same result every time. Because the device is reusable and connects to equipment most clinics already own, it is a practical, long-term addition to any rhinoplasty set.

Clinical Uses

It is suitable for:

• Diced cartilage grafts for dorsal augmentation
• Diced cartilage in fascia (DCF)
• Camouflage of dorsal irregularities
• Primary and revision rhinoplasty

How to Use the Neves Cartilage Dicer

1. Assemble the dicer and connect it to an E-type micromotor handpiece.
2. Place the harvested cartilage in the chamber and close it.
3. Run the micromotor for a few seconds according to the instructions.
4. Open the chamber and collect the diced cartilage.

Cleaning and Sterilization

Disassemble the Neves cartilage dicer immediately after use. Clean all parts, including the blade and chamber, with a soft brush or ultrasonic cleaner, rinse and dry thoroughly. Reassemble or store as instructed, and sterilize according to your facility’s validated protocol. Handle the blade with care.
