Clinical Application
Designed for controlled bone division, the curved Hibbs osteotome is used to perform osteotomies, create troughs or windows in cortical bone, remove small sections of bone, and assist in shaping or contouring bone during orthopedic, podiatric, trauma and selected spinal procedures. The 13 mm chisel width provides a broader cutting surface for efficient cortical engagement while preserving tactile feedback for precise, incremental bone work. Typically used with a mallet or hand pressure depending on the clinical situation.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft geometry improves access to oblique and confined surgical sites where a straight instrument would require excessive soft-tissue retraction. At 24 cm overall length the instrument offers extended reach into deep wounds or around anatomical contours, while the chisel cutting tip concentrates force for predictable bone entry and controlled propagation of the cut. The curvature also helps align the cutting bevel with the intended plane of osteotomy for improved control.
