Cottle chisel cross handle 7mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled bone work in nasal and perinasal procedures, this chisel is used to perform precise osteotomies and to mobilize or contour nasal bones during open or closed rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and select maxillofacial procedures. The 7 mm blade width provides a balance between cutting surface and maneuverability for primary lateral or medial osteotomies and for contouring smaller facial bony segments.

Design & Configuration

The cross handle configuration improves axial alignment and grip stability, allowing the surgeon to transmit force directly along the shaft for predictable cutting trajectories. The single-ended chisel geometry with a 7 mm cutting edge offers a broad, flat bevel appropriate for sheet-like bone removal and controlled fracture initiation. At 18 cm overall length the instrument provides tactile feedback and reach for work within the nasal vault while maintaining hand control for delicate adjustments.
