Clinical Application
Engineered for controlled bone work in nasal surgery, this curved Cottle chisel is used to score, mobilize and remove small segments of nasal bone during rhinoplasty, lateral osteotomies, and select ENT procedures that require precise bone shaping. The 6 mm blade width is suited to focused osteotomies and removal of bone spurs while minimizing collateral soft-tissue disruption.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry provides improved alignment with the dorsal and lateral nasal contours, allowing the surgeon to approach osteotomy lines at an ergonomic angle. The 18 cm overall length offers reach and leverage for both open and closed approaches without excessive hand intrusion into the operative field. A straight chisel bevel on the cutting edge permits controlled, incremental bone scoring and removal under direct visualization or endoscopic assistance.
