Clinical Application
This chisel is intended for controlled bone cutting and sculpting in orthopedic and trauma procedures, including osteotomies, cortical bone removal, bone graft preparation and contouring of bone surfaces. The 15 mm blade width provides a balance between material removal and precision, making it useful in small-to-medium bone work such as hand, wrist, foot, and select long-bone exposures where focal bone resection or shaping is required.
Design & Configuration
The Stille pattern features a single-ended hand-held configuration with a 15 mm cutting blade and a 20 cm overall length. Blade width governs the volume of bone removed per stroke and influences the chisel’s cutting profile; a wider blade enables broader, more efficient cortical cuts while the 20 cm shaft provides reach and working clearance in deeper exposures. The geometry of the cutting edge and the shaft-to-blade balance are designed to deliver predictable, controlled cuts with manual force or mallet-assisted technique when appropriate.
