Cottle chisel cross handle 4mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise chiseling and shaping of small bone and cartilage segments encountered in nasal and rhinologic procedures. Commonly used during septoplasty, open and closed rhinoplasty, nasal reconstruction, and other otolaryngology procedures where controlled removal or contouring of bone or cartilage is required. The 4 mm blade provides a balance between precision and efficient material removal in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The cross handle provides a secure grip and improved axial control, enabling the surgeon to deliver controlled mallet strikes or manual levering while maintaining alignment of the cutting edge. The 18 cm length gives reach into the nasal cavity and working corridors without excessive shaft length that can reduce tactile feedback. A narrow 4 mm chisel blade allows targeted cuts and fine sculpting where broader osteotomes would be less precise.
