Cottle periosteal comb and spicule sweeper 9 double-ended, graduated shaft flat handle

Controlled Reach for Periosteal Elevation and Spicule Sweeping

The Cottle periosteal comb and spicule sweeper is a 9-inch, double-ended instrument intended for periosteal elevation and sweeping away loose spicules during surgical handling. Its graduated shaft supports measured positioning along the working length, while the flat handle provides a broad surface for controlled hand manipulation. With two ends in one instrument, it helps keep related tasks within reach during a focused step. The named comb-and-sweeper configuration supports organized handling around the periosteum and removal of loose spicules, while the overall length provides useful reach without relying on an unspecified extension or accessory.

Use Cases

• Sweep loose spicules with the designated spicule-sweeper end.
• Use the double-ended configuration when alternating between periosteal combing and spicule-sweeping tasks.
• Use the graduated shaft to support consistent instrument positioning during handling.
• Employ the flat handle for controlled manual manipulation during focused instrument use.
