Cottle Maltz Nasal Rasp 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for orbital and intranasal bony and cartilaginous contouring, this rasp provides controlled surface reduction and smoothing during rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedures. It is used to refine dorsal humps, smooth osteotomy edges, and remove small irregularities on the nasal bones and upper lateral cartilages where precise manual abrasion is required.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 21 cm shaft permits access to deeper intranasal and dorsal nasal areas while maintaining tactile feedback and manual control. The working end features a rasping surface optimized for gradual material removal, allowing the surgeon to shape contours without aggressive cutting. The slender profile and balanced length reduce hand fatigue and improve maneuverability in confined nasal spaces.
