Cottle Nasal Scissors, TC, Angled, 16 cm

Overview

The Cottle Nasal Scissors, TC, Angled, 16 cm are designed to support precise tissue dissection and controlled cutting in rhinoplasty and nasal surgical procedures. The angled blade profile is intended to facilitate visualization and access within the nasal framework while supporting refined tissue handling in confined anatomical spaces.

Featuring tungsten carbide (TC) cutting inserts, these scissors are commonly selected for procedures requiring precision cutting, maneuverability, and controlled tissue management.

Manufactured from German surgical stainless steel with tungsten carbide inserts, these scissors are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization.

Key Features

• Cottle Pattern Design – Commonly selected for rhinoplasty and nasal surgical procedures requiring precise tissue handling.
