Free!
The bone lever is a precision orthopedic instrument used to gently elevate and support bone fragments during trauma and reconstructive surgery. Its slim, tapered tip and sturdy one-piece stainless-steel design provide controlled leverage with minimal tissue trauma. Ideal for improving access, alignment and implant positioning, it is a dependable tool for surgeons who require accuracy, safety and confident handling in the operating field.
Description
A bone lever is a slim, solid orthopedic instrument designed to elevate, support and reposition bone fragments with controlled force during surgery. Its tapered working end smoothly slides beneath bone or soft tissue, providing gentle leverage without unnecessary trauma. The opposite end typically features an open ring or rounded handle, giving the surgeon a secure grip and excellent maneuverability, even in deep or narrow operative fields.
Manufactured from high-quality surgical stainless steel, the bone lever delivers reliable strength, resistance to bending and long-term durability under repeated use. The seamless, one-piece construction and smooth satin finish reduce glare under operating lights and make cleaning and sterilization straightforward. This instrument is an essential accessory in fracture management, joint procedures and reconstructive operations, where precise handling of bony structures is critical for alignment, stability and healing.
