Smith Peterson Bone Osteotome str 16mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

This straight Smith-Peterson bone osteotome is intended for precise cortical and cancellous bone cutting, controlled bone removal, and contouring during osteotomies and reconstructive procedures. Its 16 mm cutting width allows the surgeon to perform medium-width troughs or cuts while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled mallet strikes. Common uses include small- and medium-bone osteotomies in orthopedics, trauma reduction, hand and foot surgery, and reconstructive procedures where predictable bone resection is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides a direct line of access and improved visual alignment for perpendicular bone cuts. At 20 cm overall length the instrument balances reach with control for both superficial and moderately deep operative fields. The chisel-style straight cutting edge permits precise, single-plane bone scoring and removal; its geometry is optimized for repeatable mallet-driven advancement and for levering small bone segments. A balanced handle-to-shaft ratio helps maintain surgeon control and minimizes unwanted torque during delicate maneuvers.
