Cottle Osteotome str 9mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise bone division and controlled osteotomy during nasal and facial procedures. The straight chisel profile is commonly used to perform medial and lateral nasal osteotomies, mobilize nasal bone segments in rhinoplasty, and to create controlled greenstick fractures during corrective procedures. The 9 mm blade width provides a moderate cutting face suitable for standard adult nasal osteotomies where a balance between control and efficiency is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry transmits axial force directly from the handle to the chisel tip, improving tactile feedback and control when creating linear bone cuts. A 18 cm overall length affords comfortable reach and handling for typical ENT operative fields while keeping the surgeon’s hand clear of the operative site. The chisel-style blade produces a clean scoring edge that facilitates predictable fracture lines and reduces the need for repeated passes.
