Alexander Bone Chisel 4mm 18cm

Clinical Application

This Alexander-format bone chisel with a 4 mm blade is intended for precise cutting, shaving and osteotomy of cortical bone. It is suitable for procedures that require controlled removal or scoring of bone—examples include small-bone orthopedic work, hand and wrist procedures, maxillofacial adjustments, select neurosurgical cranial bone work, and ENT osseous trimming. The narrow 4 mm profile allows targeted bone work in confined anatomical corridors where preservation of adjacent structures is critical.

Design & Configuration

The 18 cm shaft provides mid-range reach for both superficial and deeper operative fields while preserving tactile feedback. A 4 mm chisel blade gives a narrow cutting footprint for fine, accurate bone removal and localized osteotomy. The instrument is configured for one-handed control with a proximal striking surface to accept mallet-assisted impact when controlled, percussive force is required. A robust shank geometry transmits force with minimal deflection, improving control and reducing chatter at the cutting edge.

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization. The blade is finished to a sharp chisel edge suitable for precise bone work; the shank and handle are engineered to transmit percussive force reliably during mallet-assisted cutting. The instrument is reusable and compatible with standard sterilization workflows.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
