Cottle Surgical Scissors Straight 17.5 cm (7)

Controlled Cutting for Septal and Related Soft-Tissue Work

Cottle septum scissors are surgical scissors intended for cutting septal tissue and other suitable soft tissue during procedures where a substantial instrument and angled access are useful. The 6 7/8-inch length and heavy construction provide a confident hand feel, while the angled shanks can support access and line-of-sight management in the operative field. Straight blades with a micro-serrated lower blade are suited to controlled tissue engagement, and blunt tips help support careful handling around the working area. This configuration can serve ENT, General Surgery, and Plastic Surgery workflows when septal or related soft-tissue cutting is required.

Use Cases

• Cutting septal tissue during ENT procedures where a Cottle-pattern scissor is appropriate.
• Supporting controlled soft-tissue cutting in General Surgery when the procedure calls for a heavy, angled-shank scissor.
• Handling septal or related soft-tissue cutting tasks in Plastic Surgery workflows.
• Using the angled configuration to approach the working area while maintaining a practical hand position.
• Applying the spring-handle design for repeated opening and closing during suitable surgical cutting tasks.
