Alexander Bone Chisel 12mm 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled cutting and shaping of cortical bone, this Alexander bone chisel is used to perform osteotomies, remove bone spurs, fashion bone graft beds, and refine bone edges during orthopedic, trauma, hand/foot, and some maxillofacial procedures. The 12 mm blade provides a moderate cutting width suitable for localized bone work where precision and tactile feedback are required. It is intended for use with manual mallets or controlled hand strikes to achieve predictable bone removal.

Design & Configuration

The single‑beveled flat blade geometry concentrates force along a defined cutting edge, allowing precise scoring and controlled penetration of cortical bone. The struck tang accepts mallet strikes for efficient transfer of energy while the 18 cm overall length balances reach and leverage with in‑hand control. Blade width and bevel angle determine the cutting profile; a 12 mm blade offers a balance between narrow, delicate cuts and broader bone removal, making it versatile for both fine and moderate bone work.
