Boettcher Cartilage — Russian-German Anatomy Pattern

Arthur Boettcher (1839-1889), the Russian-German anatomist whose name attaches to the cochlear “Boettcher cells”, lent the eponym to a heavy cartilage scissor specifically for tracheo-bronchial cartilage in cadaveric anatomy and modern thoracic-surgery dissection. The Boettcher reference pattern serves bronchial-cuff division during pneumonectomy, tracheal-resection cartilage-ring cut for primary tracheal cancer, and laryngotracheoplasty cartilage edge bevel.

Tracheo-bronchial use

• Pneumonectomy bronchial cuff
• Primary tracheal cancer
• LTP cartilage edge bevel
