Alexander Bone Chisel 8mm 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to perform precise cortical bone work, the instrument is intended for controlled cutting, trimming and contouring of bone during orthopaedic, trauma and reconstructive procedures. Typical uses include making short osteotomies, delineating bone margins, removing small cortical fragments, and fine shaping of bone to prepare surfaces for fixation or implant seating.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended, hand-held configuration provides direct tactile feedback and fine control when used freehand or struck with a mallet. The 8 mm blade width permits targeted cortical cuts while minimizing unnecessary bone removal, and the 18 cm overall length offers reach and leverage for work in deeper or less accessible surgical fields. A well-defined beveled cutting edge facilitates clean entry into cortical bone and predictable cutting trajectories, important for accuracy in osteotomy and contouring tasks.
