Cottle Osteotome str 7mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This straight Cottle osteotome is intended for precise, controlled osteotomies of the nasal bones and adjacent facial bony structures. It is used routinely in rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty to perform medial, lateral, or transverse osteotomies, and in ENT trauma cases to mobilize or reduce nasal bone fractures. The 7 mm chisel profile concentrates mallet force to create a narrow, predictable fracture line while minimizing collateral disruption to adjacent soft tissues.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry provides direct axial force transmission from mallet strikes to the cutting edge, enabling controlled bone scoring and fracture propagation. An 18 cm overall length balances reach and tactile feedback—long enough to access the nasal framework comfortably while short enough to preserve handling precision. The 7 mm chisel blade offers a narrow working width for fine osteotomies and controlled mobilization, which is important when performing delicate nasal contouring or fracture reduction.
