COTTLE Nasal Scissors bent on shaft 16cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise cutting and trimming of delicate intranasal tissues, this instrument is used to excise mucosa, refine cartilage edges, and remove small obstructive tissue during septoplasty, turbinate reduction, functional rhinoplasty and other endonasal procedures. The geometry supports controlled, fine cuts in confined nasal cavities where a straight shaft would limit access.

Design & Configuration

The bent-on-shaft configuration provides an angled working tip while keeping the surgeon’s hand clear of the operative field. At 16 cm overall length the shaft offers extended reach into the mid to posterior nasal cavity without excessive shaft bulk, improving line-of-sight and allowing a parallel approach to septal and turbinate surfaces. The scissor action facilitates smooth, controlled shearing appropriate for mucosal and cartilage work in a constrained space.
