The Cottle Chisel Curved is a specialized osteotome with a gently curved blade, designed for performing controlled osteotomies along the curved lateral nasal wall during rhinoplasty. The curvature allows the instrument to follow the natural anatomy of the nasal bone, facilitating a low-trauma lateral osteotomy from an internal (endonasal) approach. This design helps create a predictable, greenstick fracture for nasal bone narrowing while minimizing soft tissue disruption and post-operative edema.

Key Features:

  • Gently curved blade designed to follow the contour of the lateral nasal wall.

  • Allows for a continuous, controlled osteotomy from an intranasal approach.

  • Promotes a low-trauma, greenstick fracture for nasal bone infracturing.

  • Reduces the risk of irregular fractures (“rocker” deformity) and soft tissue injury.

  • Essential for achieving symmetric and aesthetic nasal bone narrowing.

  • A key instrument for both cosmetic and functional lateral osteotomies in rhinoplasty.

Perform anatomically correct lateral nasal osteotomies with the curved Cottle Chisel from Medic Instrument.
