Product Overview

The Cottle Cartilage Crusher is a heavy-duty orthopedic tool used to modify the structural integrity of cartilage. By placing harvested septal or ear cartilage between the crushing surfaces, surgeons can “mash” the tissue to make it more pliable and easier to contour. This model features an integrated scraper, allowing for the efficient removal and collection of the processed cartilage from the crushing well.

Key Features

• High-Leverage Crushing Well: Features a deep, textured well and a heavy-duty lid designed to apply uniform pressure, effectively flattening cartilage without completely destroying its regenerative potential.

• Integrated Scraper Tool: Includes a specialized scraper for easy retrieval of the crushed tissue, ensuring no valuable graft material is wasted and maintaining a clean workspace.

• Non-Slip Interior Texture: The crushing surfaces are precision-milled with a cross-hatched pattern to prevent the cartilage from slipping out during the compression process.

• Weighted Base: Engineered with a solid, heavy-base design to provide stability on the surgical table, allowing the surgeon to apply maximum force with total control.

• Beast-Like Durability: Forged from high-grade, tempered surgical stainless steel to withstand the repetitive, high-pressure demands of reconstructive surgery.
