Cottle Periosteal Elevator s/e cvd 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled subperiosteal and mucoperiosteal elevation during procedures that require atraumatic separation of soft tissue from bone. Common applications include rhinoplasty, septoplasty, sinus and nasal cavity procedures, orbital floor elevation, and select oral/maxillofacial exposures where precise elevation of periosteum or soft-tissue flaps is required.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended curved geometry provides an ergonomic working profile that follows bone contours and expands surgical reach into deeper or confined cavities. The curved spatulate blade delivers broad contact for blunt elevation while allowing the surgeon to direct force along the bone surface, improving control when creating subperiosteal planes. The 19 cm overall length balances reach with maneuverability for both open and limited-access approaches.
