25. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1032-17 | Cottle Pattern
Bone Osteotome
Fine osteotomy work requires an instrument that lets the surgeon judge both the direction and
depth of the cut. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1032-17 Cottle Pattern Bone Osteotome is
intended for controlled bone and cartilage shaping where a slender cutting edge and clear depth
reference are useful.
The Cottle pattern is commonly associated with rhinoplasty and facial surgical applications. Its
thin blade allows the operator to make focused cuts rather than relying on a broader, heavier
osteotome.
The instrument offers several practical characteristics:
● A fine blade for controlled osteotomy work.
● Depth markings that provide a visual reference during penetration.
● A striking end suitable for controlled mallet use.
● A rigid construction that helps keep the cutting edge directed along the intended path.
The depth markings are particularly useful because they provide an additional reference while
the surgeon advances the osteotome. This can be valuable when working in anatomical areas
where the amount of bone removed must be carefully controlled.
SKU 11-1032-17 can be included with bone surgery instruments selected for facial, reconstructive, and
orthopedic procedures. Its function differs from heavy chisels and gouges, making it a useful
specialist instrument within a broader set.
The blade should be inspected for edge condition before use, while the markings should remain
clearly readable. Proper cleaning and sterilization should follow the manufacturer’s and facility’s
validated procedures.
For controlled osteotomy and structural bone shaping, SKU 11-1032-17 offers the focused
handling required by delicate surgical work.
Include this Cottle pattern osteotome in your specialty tray.
