Description

Cottle-Jansen Bone Rongeur Forceps

The Cottle-Jansen bone rongeur is a biting forceps for nasal surgery. Surgeons use it to remove deviated bone and cartilage from the septum.

Removing septal bone

In septoplasty, a bent bony section often blocks the airway. So the surgeon bites it away with the rongeur, piece by piece. This helps open the nasal passage while the rest of the septum stays in place.

18 cm overall

We offer this pattern at 18 cm. That length reaches into the nose through a speculum. Also, it suits most adult septal work, so one size usually covers the tray.

Part of a septoplasty set

A septal tray usually holds a speculum, elevators, scissors and forceps. The rongeur then handles bony spurs and thick sections. Meanwhile, Asch forceps can realign what remains.

Choosing your rongeur

If you mainly work on the septum, then the Cottle-Jansen bone rongeur is a common choice. However, the Fisch rongeur suits other bone work. Contact us if you need jaw dimensions.

Caring for your Cottle-Jansen rongeur

Flush bone chips from the jaws right after surgery. Next, open the rongeur and brush the joint. Finally, dry the Cottle-Jansen bone rongeur fully before sterilizing it.
