One end of the instrument features a curved retractor, which is used to retract and hold back nasal tissues, allowing for optimal visualization and access to the surgical area. The other end features a guide that is used to hold the surgical knife in place, ensuring precise and accurate cuts are made. The guide end of the instrument is designed to prevent the knife from slipping or causing damage to surrounding tissues. Moreover the tool is:

Procedure of Cleaning

The dual design allows surgeons to switch between precise cutting control on one end and soft tissue retraction on the other without needing separate instruments. This combination simplifies the surgical workflow by keeping essential nasal manipulation functions in a single, compact tool that reduces instrument changeovers during delicate nasal procedures.

This instrument works best in rhinoplasty and septoplasty cases, where surgeons reshape the nasal bridge, refine the nasal tip, and correct deviated septa. It's also helpful for procedures involving functional endoscopic sinus surgery when better tissue visibility and controlled access are needed during internal nasal work.

The retractor end holds tissues apart gently to improve surgical visibility and allow better access to bleeding vessels without forcing harsh separation. While the retractor itself doesn't directly stop bleeding, superior visualization enables surgeons to identify and manage hemorrhage points earlier and more effectively, keeping the operative field clear throughout the procedure.

Yes, pediatric septoplasty can safely be performed in young patients under careful conditions, with current evidence showing minimal impact on nasal growth when procedures are conservative and limited. The Cottle instrument works well for pediatric cases when used judiciously, though most surgeons recommend waiting until children are at least six years old to allow adequate cartilage development before surgical intervention.

This double-ended design eliminates frequent instrument swapping, reducing setup time and keeping surgical staff focused on the procedure rather than managing multiple tools. The combination function streamlines the workflow by maintaining a steady surgical field with one reliable instrument, which translates directly into shorter operative times and reduced fatigue for both the surgical team and the patient under anesthesia.
