Osteotome

An osteotome is a specialized surgical instrument used in various orthopedic procedures for controlled manipulation of bone. Unlike a drill or saw that focuses on creating precise holes or cuts, the osteotome offers a sculptor’s touch, allowing surgeons to perform the following tasks with unmatched control:

• Precise Bone Cutting: Surgeons can utilize osteotomes for controlled cutting of bone during procedures. This can involve accessing fracture sites, removing small bone fragments, or facilitating implant placement during joint replacements.
• Bone Compaction: In specific situations, osteotomes are used to condense and strengthen bone during procedures like spinal fusion surgeries. By compacting bone grafts, they promote optimal healing and stability.
• Bone Shaping: Certain procedures require meticulous reshaping of bone structures to achieve optimal fit for implants. The osteotome’s controlled cutting and sculpting capabilities are ideal for these delicate tasks.
