Description

Cottle Kazanjian Bone Cutting Forceps

Cottle Kazanjian bone cutting forceps are nasal forceps that cut bone. Rhinoplasty surgeons use them to take down a bony hump on the nasal dorsum.

Cutting the nasal hump

A dorsal hump often combines cartilage and bone. So after the surgeon frees the skin, these forceps bite into the bony part. The surgeon can then remove the hump or trim it in stages.

An 18 cm pattern

We sell this Kazanjian pattern at 18 cm overall. That length reaches up the dorsum from the nostril or an open incision. Meanwhile, the handles stay comfortable in one hand.

Where it sits among nasal tools

Hump reduction may also involve rasps, osteotomes and a mallet. For example, the surgeon may cut first with the Kazanjian pattern and then smooth the edge with a rasp. Afterward, lateral osteotomies may follow to close an open roof.

Building a rhinoplasty tray

If your tray lacks a bone cutter for the dorsum, then this forceps fills the gap. Also, a lighted nasal retractor can hold the skin while you cut. Ask us for help with pairing items.

Caring for your Kazanjian forceps

Bone dust and small chips collect in the jaws. Therefore, brush them out under running water right after surgery. Next, clean the joint, dry the Cottle Kazanjian bone cutting forceps well, and sterilize them.
