The cutsare made with scissors, almost identical with those of Asch, the firstone nearly parallel with the floor of the nose and as close as possibleto the inferior attachment of the cartilage (Fig. 52). A second cut. n Moures Operation. is made obliquely upward and as close as possible to the dorsum ofthe nose, leaving a somewhat narrow bridge of cartilage between theanterior ends and a very wide one between the posterior ends ofthe incisions. This triangular movable fragment of cartilage isheld in front at the tip of the nose by a band of cartilage and behindby the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and the vomer. A special Fig. S3- Moures Nasal Tube and Dilating Forceps. tube, composed of two parallel blades, the outer one rigid to restupon the turbinate, the inner one malleable, is then introduced. Themalleable blade is then moulded against the deviated cartilage, thuscorrecting the deflection to the desired degree, by means of dilatingforceps passed into the tube (Fig. 53).
