Cottle cartilage crusher 2 3/4 15.0mm wide smooth bed

Controlled Cartilage Handling in a Compact Angled Design

The Cottle cartilage crusher is a surgical instrument intended for crushing and shaping cartilage during general surgery. Its 2 3/4-inch length and 15.0mm width provide a compact format for controlled handling at the operative field, while the smooth bed supports consistent contact with the material being processed. The angled shape can assist positioning and access within a focused workspace, and the suction feature aligns the instrument with suction-oriented surgical setups. Designed for practical instrument handling, this crusher supports organized cartilage preparation without adding unnecessary bulk to the surgical field.

Use Cases

• Crush and prepare cartilage during general surgical procedures.
• Use the smooth bed for controlled contact while processing cartilage.
• Position the angled instrument where an offset approach supports access to the operative workspace.
• Incorporate the suction feature into workflows requiring suction-oriented instrument handling.
• Use the compact 2 3/4-inch format when a shorter instrument profile is useful at the surgical field.

Specifications
