Walter Flat Chisel 4.5mm 19cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for controlled bone cutting and sculpting where a flat planar cut is required. The 4.5 mm blade width provides a narrow cutting profile for precise osteotomies, cortical bone trimming, and small-bone work commonly encountered in orthopedics, hand and wrist surgery, foot and ankle procedures, maxillofacial operations, and ENT bone work. The blade performs well for creating flat surfaces, finishing bone margins, and completing transverse cuts when used with careful hand pressure or light mallet strikes as indicated by the surgeon.

Design & Configuration

The flat chisel geometry concentrates force along a planar cutting edge to produce smooth, consistent bone cuts. A relatively narrow 4.5 mm blade enables targeted removal and fine contouring while the 19 cm overall length provides reach and mechanical leverage in open procedures. The flat tip orientation is selected where a straight, even cut is required rather than a gouging or spoon-shaped action.
