Cottle Osteotome str 12mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Used for controlled bone division, scoring and shaping during nasal and maxillofacial procedures. The instrument is suited to medial and lateral osteotomies in rhinoplasty, controlled fracturing of nasal bones, and other small-bone work where precise, linear bone cuts or chisel-style impact are required. It is intended for use by surgeons together with a mallet or hand pressure to mobilize or remove bone segments while maintaining tactile feedback.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides a direct line of force transfer from surgeon to cutting edge, which improves control during linear osteotomies and allows predictable bone splits. The 12 mm cutting edge balances surface area for efficient bone engagement with the ability to create focused, narrow osteotomies. An overall length of 18 cm offers ergonomic reach into the nasal and perinasal field while preserving hand control and visibility.
