Cottle Knife Nasal 15cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for precise intranasal soft-tissue incision and controlled dissection. It is commonly used to score and incise nasal mucosa, create mucoperichondrial flaps during septoplasty, and perform internal approaches in rhinoplasty and turbinate procedures where a slim, well-controlled cutting instrument is required. The length and slim profile permit access to deeper intranasal locations while maintaining tactile feedback for the surgeon.

Design & Configuration

The slender shaft and narrow cutting profile are configured to provide improved visibility and maneuverability within the confined nasal cavity. The 15 cm length balances reach and control for both anterior and more posterior intranasal work. An ergonomically shaped handle area supports precise one-handed control during delicate mucosal scoring, while a dedicated cutting edge allows for accurate incisions with minimal collateral trauma.
