Cottle Nasal Rasp - Down Cutting
The Cottle Nasal Rasp – Down Cutting is a specialized instrument designed for controlled and efficient reduction of the bony nasal dorsum during rhinoplasty. This rasp features a unique cutting surface with teeth oriented to effectively remove bone when pulled toward the surgeon (in a downward stroke relative to the nasal position). This design allows for aggressive yet controlled sculpting of the nasal hump and smoothing of irregularities, providing surgeons with a tactile feel for bone removal while helping to create a smooth, symmetrical dorsal profile for optimal aesthetic results.
