Cottle Kazanjian Bone Cutting Forceps 18.5cm

Cottle Kazanjian Bone Cutting Forceps for Nasal Surgery

The Cottle Kazanjian Bone Cutting Forceps are specialized surgical instruments designed for controlled bone cutting during facial and nasal reconstructive procedures. This 18.5cm (7 3/4") instrument combines straight jaws, sharpened inner cutting edges and a spring mechanism, providing a defined configuration for ENT and plastic surgery procedures involving nasal bone modification.

The instrument is particularly associated with rhinoplasty and septoplasty, where surgeons may require a dedicated bone cutting forceps for reshaping or removing selected nasal bone. Its straight working configuration and compact overall length provide a practical pattern for professional nasal surgical instrument sets.

Straight Jaws with Sharpened Inner Cutting Edges

The Cottle Kazanjian Forceps feature straight jaws with sharpened inner cutting edges. This working-end configuration provides the cutting function required when selected bone structures need to be divided or reshaped during the surgical procedure.

The straight jaw pattern gives surgeons and procurement professionals a clear identifying feature when distinguishing this model from curved or angled bone cutting forceps. The jaw design should be considered together with the instrument's overall length and spring-action handle mechanism when selecting the required pattern.

Rounded Lateral Jaw Profile

The lateral sides of the jaws have a rounded profile. This design forms part of the verified working-end geometry and distinguishes the forceps from bone cutters with sharper external jaw contours.

The rounded lateral configuration is particularly relevant in nasal surgical instrumentation where the working end must be positioned within a confined operative field. Instrument placement and cutting technique should be determined by the responsible surgeon according to the anatomy and planned procedure.

Spring-Action Handle Mechanism

A spring mechanism is positioned between the handles to support repeated opening of the working jaws during manual operation. The surgeon closes the handles to operate the cutting end, while the spring mechanism assists with returning the instrument toward the open position between cuts.

Before use, the spring, handles, joint and jaw alignment should be inspected to confirm normal mechanical function. Any visible damage, excessive wear or misalignment should be addressed according to the healthcare facility's surgical instrument-management procedures.

Product Specifications

ENT and Plastic Surgery Applications

The Cottle Kazanjian Bone Cutting Forceps are intended for facial and nasal procedures where controlled cutting or reshaping of nasal bone is required. Listed applications include septoplasty and rhinoplasty, making the instrument relevant to both ENT and plastic surgery instrument inventories.

During rhinoplasty or nasal reconstruction, the instrument may be selected when the operative plan requires cutting or reshaping bone using a straight bone forceps configuration. In septoplasty, it can be used when bone cutting forms part of the planned septal correction. The precise site of use and amount of bone removed should be determined by the responsible surgeon.

Care and Handling

Clean the Cottle Kazanjian Bone Cutting Forceps according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing procedures and applicable product-specific instructions. Particular attention should be given to the sharpened inner jaw edges, joint, spring mechanism and handle surfaces so that visible contamination is removed during processing.

Before each use, inspect the cutting edges for visible wear or damage and confirm that the straight jaws remain properly aligned. The spring mechanism should move normally without obstruction. Do not apply unverified sterilization temperatures, exposure times or pressure settings without appropriate product-specific processing instructions.
