Cottle chisel cross handle 12mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for controlled bone cutting, shaping and limited osteotomy during nasal and select facial procedures. The chisel geometry and robust tip are suitable for precise nasal bone mobilization, septal cartilage-bone separation, and small osteotomies performed in rhinoplasty and septoplasty where controlled hand-driven bone work is required.

Design & Configuration

The cross (T) handle provides a palm-grip option that improves axial force transmission and tactile feedback during hand-driven bone work, allowing the surgeon to apply measured impact or levering forces with improved control. The 12 mm chisel tip offers a wider cutting surface for even, predictable bone engagement while the 18 cm overall length provides reach into the nasal vault and operative field while keeping the hand clear of the line of work.
