Clinical Application
Designed for controlled biting and removal of small segments of bone and firm cartilage in restricted operative fields. Commonly used in otolaryngology and facial plastic procedures—including septoplasty, rhinoplasty, turbinectomy and selected craniofacial applications—where precise shaping or excision of bone is required without large incisions.
Design & Configuration
The Cottle Jansen geometry pairs a compact 4 mm bite with a 18 cm shaft to provide reach into deep or narrow cavities while maintaining direct visualization of the cutting tip. The compact jaw profile enables targeted nibbling and contouring with minimal collateral tissue displacement. Ergonomically contoured handles allow controlled force transmission and tactile feedback for repeatable, precise cuts in delicate operative areas.
