Cottle Septum Elevator Graduated Double-Ended, – Septum & Periosteal Elevator

Cottle Septum Elevator Graduated Double-Ended – Nasal Septum and Periosteal Elevator

The Cottle Septum Elevator Double-Ended, Graduated from Adas Instruments, is a precision nasal septum elevator and periosteal elevator designed for rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and other nasal reconstructive procedures. This Cottle septum elevator, double-ended, graduated combines a slim shaft with engraved depth marks in centimetres so surgeons can track how far the instrument has advanced inside the nose during submucosal and subperiosteal dissection. It is ideal for elevating mucoperichondrial and mucoperiosteal flaps along the nasal septum and bony dorsum with excellent control.

As a dedicated Cottle septum elevator, the instrument provides two distinct working tips that support both broad and fine tissue elevation. One end typically offers a wider spatula blade for gentle lifting of periosteum and soft tissue, while the opposite end has a narrower or rounded tip for precise dissection close to delicate structures. The double-ended design reduces instrument changes and makes the Cottle Septum Elevator Double-Ended, Graduated a versatile choice for functional and cosmetic nasal surgery.

Design and features Of elevator cottle

The shaft of the Cottle Septum Elevator Double-Ended, Graduated is marked in centimetre increments, giving the surgeon an immediate reference for depth during tunnelling along the nasal septum or lateral nasal wall. This graduated design enhances safety when visual landmarks are limited. The double-ended configuration places two periosteal elevator blades on a single central handle, saving space on the tray and allowing quick switching between blade profiles. A flat or slightly contoured handle provides a non-slip grip, and the satin stainless steel finish minimizes glare from the operating light.

Clinical applications Of graduated nasal elevator

• Elevation of mucoperichondrial flaps in septoplasty using the Cottle septum elevator blade.
• Periosteal elevation over the nasal bones and the frontal process of the maxilla in rhinoplasty with the periosteal elevator end.
• Creation of subperiosteal tunnels during dorsal hump reduction and nasal fracture repair.
• Fine soft tissue dissection in ENT and plastic surgery, where a graduated, double-ended septum elevator offers precise depth control.
