Clinical Application
This straight Smith Peterson bone osteotome is intended for controlled cutting, chiseling and trimming of cortical bone during orthopedic, trauma and reconstructive procedures. The instrument is used to perform segmental osteotomies, remove cortical bone ridges, produce flat bone surfaces, and assist in bone-bed preparation where a sharp chisel edge and direct line of force are required. It is typically used with a mallet or hand force to deliver precise, tactile bone cuts.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides direct alignment of the blade with the surgeon's line of force, improving control during transverse or longitudinal bone cuts. A 32 mm blade width offers a broader cutting surface for larger cortical bites and faster removal where appropriate, while the 20 cm overall length balances reach and leverage for intraoperative handling. The flat chisel blade concentrates force at the leading edge for efficient scraping and splitting of cortical bone.
