16cm, 6¼”
Sharp
The COTTLE Tenaculum Hook is a handheld skin hook built for surgeons who need one precise point of tissue contact rather than a broad clamp. Measuring 16cm (6¼”), it carries a sharp tip in keeping with the Cottle pattern long associated with septorhinoplasty and nasal surgery, giving the hand a fine, controlled grip for lifting and steadying soft tissue during closure or exposure. As part of Next Edge Surgical LLC’s retractors range, it supports the kind of minimal-contact tissue handling that nasal and facial work often demands, without the bulk of a larger clamp or self-retaining device competing for space in an already tight field.
Design features that matter in practice:
* Sharp single point: gives a defined, low-profile grip on skin or soft tissue where a wider instrument would crowd the field.
* 16cm overall length: sits comfortably in the hand for close, controlled work near the face and nose.
* Slim single-hook profile: keeps the instrument out of the surgeon’s own sightline during fine dissection or suturing.
* Reusable stainless construction: built to withstand repeated handling and cleaning cycles when processed per facility protocol.
Cottle-pattern instruments have a long history in septorhinoplasty for exactly this reason: they let the surgeon manage tissue with a light touch instead of force, an approach that becomes more valuable as the surgical corridor narrows. This tenaculum hook carries that same philosophy into a simple, dependable handheld tool that surgical teams can rely on case after case, whether it is used on its own or alongside finer dissecting instruments during the same procedure.
