Clinical Application
This straight Smith Peterson bone osteotome is intended for precise, controlled bone cutting and sculpting in procedures that require narrow osteotomies or removal of cortical bone. Common uses include small-bone work in hand and foot surgery, targeted bone removal in orthopedic and trauma cases, and limited access spinal or reconstructive procedures. The 6 mm blade width enables accurate, narrowly focused cuts while minimizing collateral bone loss.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft geometry concentrates axial force along the blade to produce efficient, controlled penetration when used with manual pressure or mallet impact. A 20 cm overall length provides reach and tactile control in deeper or confined operative fields without excessive shaft flex. The 6 mm cutting face is sized for narrow osteotomies and precise contouring where broader osteotomes would remove excess bone.
