Description
Cottle Rhinoplastic and Nasal Knife
The Cottle nasal knife joins the wide family of nasal tools named after Maurice Cottle. Surgeons use knives of this kind for incisions inside the nose during septal and rhinoplasty work.
What we know about this item
Our listing names the pattern but gives no size data. Therefore we suggest an email before ordering. We will confirm the length, shape and blade dimensions, and we can send photos.
Why the Cottle family matters
Cottle shaped how many surgeons approach the septum. As a result, his elevators, retractors, chisels and osteotomes appear on many trays. A matching knife rounds out that group.
Typical uses
For instance, septoplasty begins with an incision through the septal lining. Similarly, rhinoplasty often starts with incisions inside the nostril. A nasal knife handles these first steps before elevators take over.
Choosing a nasal knife
First, decide if a straight or a curved blade suits the step. Next, check the length against your other nasal tools. Then ask us whether this pattern matches your needs.
Caring for your Cottle nasal knife
Rinse the blade quickly after surgery and handle it gently. Wash and rinse it, then let it dry fully. Sterilize it last, edge covered.
