Cottle Columella Nasal Grasping forceps 11cm

Cottle-Columella Forceps, 11 cm

The columella sits right at the center of nasal tip aesthetics—a thin strip of tissue separating the nostrils and one of the most cosmetically visible parts of the final rhinoplasty result. The Cottle Columella Forceps handle it the way that visibility demands: gently, without crushing injury or bruising.

11 cm for Precision Tip Work

Sized for the fine, detailed work the nasal tip requires. During open rhinoplasty, where the columellar incision provides direct access to tip structures, this length gives surgeons the control needed for careful tissue elevation and repositioning.

Grip Without Crush Injury

The jaw design holds and repositions columellar tissue without crushing it—a real consideration given how thin this tissue is and how directly visible it remains in the final result. Minimizing surgical trauma here isn't optional if a clean, well-healed outcome is the goal.

Built Into the Open Rhinoplasty Workflow

These forceps assist at multiple points in an open approach, from initial tissue elevation to precise repositioning during closure, supporting the meticulous handling this technique demands throughout.

Part of a Cohesive Instrument Family

Cottle-designed instruments share a consistent design philosophy and ergonomic standard, so surgeons who build their rhinoplasty tray around this family get a genuinely cohesive set of tools rather than a mismatched collection.

Durable Enough for Daily Use
