Clinical Application
Designed for controlled bone sectioning and contouring, this curved Smith Peterson osteotome is used to perform precise osteotomies, remove cortical bone, and shape small-to-moderate bone segments. Its profile is well suited to procedures in orthopedics, trauma, hand/upper extremity and foot/ankle surgery, and other reconstructive cases where a narrow, controlled cutting edge is required. The instrument is typically used to initiate or complete cuts under direct visualization and may be used with manual mallet strikes or applied hand pressure depending on the clinical task and surgeon preference.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry provides improved access around curved bone surfaces and in confined surgical corridors where a straight osteotome would be awkward to orient. The 9 mm blade width offers a narrow cutting profile for controlled, localized bone removal and minimises collateral bone loss. A 20 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control, allowing the surgeon to maintain ergonomic hand position while delivering precise strikes or controlled levering motions.
