Product Overview
The Cottle Dorsal Scissor is characterized by its heavy, angular blades and robust shanks. Designed specifically for trimming the dorsal hump or heavy nasal cartilage, the unique “angled” geometry allows the surgeon to reach over the nasal bridge while keeping their hands out of the direct line of sight. The integration of Tungsten Carbide (TC)—identified by the signature gold-plated handles—provides a “super-cut” capability that maintains a razor-edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Cut” TC Reinforced Blades: The cutting edges are reinforced with Tungsten Carbide inserts. This allows the scissors to cut through dense nasal cartilage and thick connective tissue without the blades “bowing” or dulling, ensuring a clean, straight dorsal line.
-
Unique Dorsal Angle: The blades are angled horizontally relative to the shanks. This offset is critical for dorsal hump reductions, as it allows the blades to sit flat against the nasal septum while providing the surgeon with an unobstructed view of the profile.
-
High-Leverage Handle Design: Forged with shorter, thick blades and elongated shanks. This ratio provides massive mechanical advantage, allowing the surgeon to exert controlled, powerful force when trimming tough tissue.
-
Precision-Milled Box Joint: Hand-fitted to ensure zero lateral play. This ensures that the blades meet with absolute symmetry from the pivot to the tip, preventing tissue “shredding” or uneven cuts.
-
Professional Anti-Glare Finish: Meticulously treated with a satin finish to eliminate distracting reflections from high-intensity surgical headlights or endoscopes.
