Cottle Nasal Rasp 20.5cm Fine TC

The Cottle Nasal Rasp 20.5cm Fine TC is a specialized rhinoplasty and nasal surgery instrument designed for controlled shaping, smoothing, and refinement of nasal bone and cartilage. The Cottle rasp pattern is widely associated with nasal reconstructive procedures where controlled contouring of bony or cartilaginous structures is required.

The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-RS-00140. The live product description confirms a 20.5 cm overall length and identifies the working configuration as Fine, Tungsten Carbide.

20.5cm Cottle Nasal Rasp

The instrument has a confirmed overall length of 20.5 cm. This provides the extended working reach associated with nasal rasps used during rhinoplasty and reconstructive nasal procedures while allowing the surgeon to control the working end from the handle.

The 20.5 cm measurement is one of the strongest identifying specifications for this exact Peak Surgicals model and should be referenced when comparing it with shorter or differently configured Cottle rasps.

Fine Tungsten Carbide Working Configuration

The current Peak Surgicals description specifically identifies this model as Fine, Tungsten Carbide. The fine working surface distinguishes this configuration from coarse rasp patterns intended for more aggressive material removal.

The page does not specify the exact tungsten carbide insert dimensions, grit measurement, tooth count, or working-surface width. Those technical details should therefore be confirmed before ordering when a particular rasp geometry is required.

Nasal Bone Contouring

Cottle rasps are established surgical instruments for shaping and smoothing nasal bone during nasal reconstructive and rhinoplasty procedures. The rasping surface allows controlled removal and refinement of irregular bony areas according to the surgeon's operative plan.

The degree of contouring should be determined by the operating surgeon according to nasal anatomy and the planned reconstruction.

Cartilage Shaping in Rhinoplasty

The Cottle rasp pattern is also associated with controlled refinement of nasal cartilage. This makes the instrument relevant to rhinoplasty sets where both bone and cartilage contouring instruments are required.

The exact tissue to be rasped and the amount of material removed should remain under direct surgical control rather than being determined solely by the instrument pattern.

Rhinoplasty and Nasal Reconstruction

Peak Surgicals places Cottle nasal instruments within its Rhinoplasty Surgery Instruments range. Independent surgical-instrument references likewise identify Cottle rasps for nasal reconstructive procedures and controlled nasal contouring.

The instrument can therefore be incorporated into rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery sets requiring a fine nasal rasp.

Fine Rasp for Surface Refinement

A fine rasp configuration is suited to controlled surface refinement where a less aggressive working profile is required than a coarse rasp. This makes the current Fine TC configuration relevant for later-stage contouring and smoothing tasks within the surgeon's selected technique.

The current Peak Surgicals page does not provide a separate coarse version under this exact SKU, so other Cottle rasp variants should not be assumed to have the same specifications.

Instrument Material Information

The current Peak Surgicals page title identifies the product within its stainless steel positioning, while the product description specifically confirms a Fine, Tungsten Carbide configuration. The exact relationship between the base instrument material and tungsten carbide working component is not further detailed on the live page.

Buyers requiring an exact stainless-steel alloy grade, tungsten carbide grade, insert construction, or material certificate should confirm those specifications before ordering.

Instrument Inspection and Reprocessing

Before clinical use, the rasp working surface should be inspected for visible wear, deformation, damaged teeth, loose working components, or other conditions that could affect normal rasping performance.

Following use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated procedures. Particular attention should be given to the fine rasping surface where biological material may remain.

Product Specifications

For Rhinoplasty Centers and Surgical Procurement

The Cottle Nasal Rasp is relevant for rhinoplasty centers, ENT and facial plastic surgery departments, hospitals, surgical instrument distributors, and procurement teams sourcing specialized nasal contouring instruments.

For accurate purchasing and inventory identification, buyers can reference SKU PS-RS-00140 together with the 20.5 cm overall length and Fine Tungsten Carbide configuration. Buyers requiring exact working-end width, rasp tooth geometry, tungsten carbide grade, stainless-steel alloy, or other detailed dimensions should confirm those specifications before ordering.
