Cottle Osteotome str 4mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This straight Cottle osteotome is intended for creating controlled osteotomies and precise bone scoring of small facial and nasal bones. It is commonly used in rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and other ENT or facial procedures where focused bone sectioning or mobilization is required. The 4 mm cutting width supports narrow, targeted cuts to facilitate bone realignment, lateralization, or removal of small bone segments while minimizing collateral bone loss.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides direct alignment of the cutting edge with the axis of force, improving tactile feedback and control during chiseling or malleting maneuvers. An 18 cm overall length offers reach for both open and closed approaches without excessive shaft flex, and the 4 mm blade width permits fine, controlled osteotomies suited to nasal bone work where precision and limited bone removal are priorities.
