Surgical Green Cottle Cartilage Crusher is a stainless steel instrument designed to compress and reshape harvested cartilage for graft preparation in nasal reconstructive procedures, including rhinoplasty. Measuring 65 × 30 × 30 mm, it combines long, straight, flat handles with an internal cavity for holding cartilage pieces during preparation. Its two-limb design supports compression of soft cartilage into smaller pieces.
The Cottle Cartilage Crusher is designed to break down soft, harvested cartilage through compression. This supports preparation of cartilage pieces for reconstructive grafting, including nasal procedures where grafts are used to add volume or address structural irregularities.
Long handle profiles support grip and dexterity during cartilage preparation. The straight, flat handle shape is designed to support comfortable handling and a controlled grasp when applying pressure.
The internal cavity in the lower limb provides space to hold cartilage pieces during preparation until they are needed. This feature keeps the cartilage within the device while it is being prepared for use.
A pair of tongs with flat blades is also available for picking up and placing cartilage pieces. The tongs provide an additional handling option for cartilage preparation.
Manufactured from premium grade stainless steel, the Cottle Cartilage Crusher is reusable and has a dual satin and mirror finish. It is passivated, ultrasonically cleaned and dull-polished. This Premium Operating Room (OR) grade instrument is latex-free, individually packed and supplied non-sterile. Boil, performance and shape tests are performed, and the instrument is QC passed.
