Cottle Nasal Speculum w/side screw 35mm 14cm

Clinical Application

Designed for anterior nasal cavity exposure and atraumatic retraction of the nasal vestibule and internal sidewalls. Provides stable, adjustable opening for diagnostic nasal endoscopy, anterior septal procedures, rhinoplasty approaches, biopsy or foreign-body removal, and routine intranasal inspection in clinic or operating-room settings. The controlled opening permits concurrent use of suction, forceps, or endoscopes while maintaining visualization.

Design & Configuration

The bilateral blade design with a 35 mm maximum opening offers broad visualization of the anterior nasal passages without requiring excessive force on delicate mucosa. The 14 cm overall length provides reach for anterior and mid-vault exposure while maintaining familiar ergonomics. A side-mounted screw allows incremental adjustment and secure retention of the blades, enabling hands-free retraction and stable working space during procedures that require both hands or instrument exchange.
