Clinical Application
Curved Hibbs osteotomes are used for precise removal, shaping and contouring of cortical and cancellous bone. The 25 mm chisel blade provides a broad cutting surface for tasks such as creating graft beds, removing bone spurs, performing osteotomies about small long bones and metatarsal procedures, and controlled bone resection in trauma or reconstructive cases. The curved profile facilitates access to angled or recessed surfaces where a straight instrument would require excessive soft-tissue retraction.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry improves approach angle and leverage when working along curved bone surfaces or within confined exposures. A 25 mm chisel-style blade gives a wider bite for efficient bone removal while dispersing impact forces evenly when used with a mallet. The 24 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control, allowing the surgeon to apply force without sacrificing precision in deeper or narrow operative fields.
