Cottle Mallet with Teflon Head: Atraumatic Precision for Rhinoplasty
The Cottle Mallet with Teflon Head from Adas Instruments is an essential component of the plastic surgery and ENT tray. This specialized mallet is made from premium German Stainless Steel and features a double-ended head design. One side provides the raw power of stainless steel, while the other is fitted with a medical-grade Teflon disc to deliver a dampened, “soft” strike that prevents damage to delicate instrument edges and minimizes patient bone trauma.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Cottle mallet undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The Teflon facings are securely threaded into the head to ensure they remain stable during high-frequency use but can be easily replaced when worn. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the weight is perfectly distributed between the head and the ergonomic handle for effortless control.
Surgical Applications
- Rhinoplasty: Used for the precise reshaping of the nasal bridge and lateral osteotomies where controlled, gentle force is required.
- Septoplasty: Facilitates the removal of bony spurs and septal deviations with minimal vibration to the skull.
- Delicate Bone Grafting: Ideal for shaping small bone grafts where high-impact steel mallets might cause fragmentation.
Care and Maintenance Section
While the stainless steel body is fully autoclavable, the Teflon heads should be inspected for deep grooves or flattening after each procedure. We recommend replacing the Teflon inserts periodically to maintain optimal shock absorption. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
