- A precision orthopedic instrument used primarily used in orthopedic and spinal surgeries where access to deep anatomical structures is required
Uses
- Bone Resection:
- Used to cut or shave off small sections of bone during reconstructive surgery
- Spinal Procedures:
- Often employed in laminectomies or spinal fusions to remove or shape vertebrae
- Fracture Repair:
- Helps surgeons prepare bone surfaces for the placement of hardware like plates or pins
Features
- Blade Dimensions:
- Features a 3/4 inch (19mm) wide blade
- Extended Length:
- Measures 9.5 inches (24.1cm), providing the reach necessary for deep surgical sites
- Satin Finish:
- Designed with a matte finish to reduce glare under bright operating room lights and improve grip
- Premium Material:
- Crafted from high-grade German stainless steel, ensuring the blade retains its sharpness through multiple uses
Benefits
- Enhanced Reach:
- Its 9.5-inch length allows for better visualization and manipulation in deep cavities compared to standard shorter osteotomes
- Durability:
- The high-quality steel construction prevents chipping or bending when used against dense cortical bone
- Precision:
- The straight, 19mm blade allows for consistent, controlled bone removal, which is critical in delicate spinal work
- Sterilization Integrity:
- Like other premium Miltex instruments, it is fully autoclavable and undergoes a passivation process to resist corrosion
