Cottle Nasal Speculum 50mm 14cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled lateral retraction of the nostril and vestibule to expose the anterior nasal cavity. Ideal for diagnostic nasal exams in clinic and for intraoperative exposure during anterior septoplasty, turbinate procedures, limited rhinoplasty work on the nasal vestibule, removal of intranasal foreign bodies, and localized biopsies or topical treatments. The 50 mm blade span offers wider access for adult anatomy while preserving the ability to fine-tune retraction under direct vision.

Design & Configuration

The two opposing-blade, hand-held design gives the operator direct tactile control of retraction and positioning. A 50 mm maximum opening allows broader lateral displacement of the ala and vestibular tissues without requiring excessive force, and the 14 cm overall length provides reach to the anterior and mid-nasal regions while maintaining stable handling. Rounded blade profiles are used to minimize focal pressure on mucosa and reduce the risk of abrasion during repeated adjustments.
