Cottle Osteotome, 18cm, 6mm Wide, Curved Graduated — Overview

The Cottle Osteotome, Curved Graduated (S5-109-06) is an 18cm, 6mm-wide curved osteotome with graduated shaft markings, part of the Cottle instrument system, used for nasal bone cuts that need to follow the natural curvature of the lateral nasal wall.

Curved Blade for Lateral Wall Osteotomies

A curved blade tracks the natural contour of the lateral nasal bone more closely than a straight blade, producing a cut that follows the bone's shape rather than cutting a straight line across a curved surface — the same principle underlying the curved options on the Anderson-Neivert and Cakir osteotomes elsewhere in this range, here within the Cottle system at a 6mm width.

Graduated Shaft

Graduation markings along the shaft let the surgeon monitor cut depth as the osteotome advances, a consistent feature across the graduated Cottle instrument family that supports precise, controlled bone-cutting.

Clinical Use

This osteotome is used in rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty for lateral nasal wall osteotomies where a curved, depth-graduated blade is preferred, as part of the Cottle technique system.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a precisely curved cutting edge and graduated shaft markings.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. The curved cutting edge should be inspected before each use for nicks or dulling.
