Cottle Osteotome, 18cm, Straight Graduated — Overview

The Cottle Osteotome, Straight Graduated (S5-110-00 family) is available across four widths — 4.0mm, 7.0mm, 9.0mm, and 12.0mm — giving the widest single size range of any straight osteotome in the Cottle system, for surgeons who need to match blade width precisely to the specific linear osteotomy being performed.

Four Widths for Precise Matching

The 4.0mm width suits fine, conservative cuts; 7.0mm and 9.0mm cover the common mid-range used across most standard nasal osteotomies; 12.0mm is used for broader bone work needing more material addressed per pass. Stocking the full range lets the surgeon select the exact width the specific cut calls for rather than compromising with an adjacent size.

Straight, Graduated Design

As a straight osteotome, this design is used for direct linear cuts, most commonly along the medial osteotomy line, with graduated shaft markings to help monitor cut depth — the same graduated feature found across the broader Cottle instrument system.

Clinical Use

This osteotome is used in rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty for straight, depth-controlled nasal bone osteotomies 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 ground straight cutting edge and graduated shaft markings at each width.

Sterilization and Care

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