Orthopedic Bone Osteotomes
Free!
Orthopedic bone osteotomes are dual-beveled surgical instruments used to cut, contour and reshape bone with high precision during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Supplied in assorted sizes and profiles, they deliver controlled, clean bone cuts with excellent tactile feedback, helping surgeons work safely in delicate areas. Durable stainless-steel construction and ergonomic handles make them a reliable, long-term choice for hospitals, clinics and specialist surgical centers.
Description
Orthopedic bone osteotomes are precision surgical instruments designed for controlled cutting, shaping and contouring of bone during orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive and joint replacement procedures. Structurally similar to chisels but beveled on both sides, osteotomes are driven manually, usually with a surgical mallet, allowing surgeons to remove or mobilize bone in a highly targeted, minimally traumatic way.
Crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel, these instruments offer excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance and compatibility with standard sterilization protocols. A complete osteotome set typically includes multiple widths and profiles (straight, curved or tapered), enabling accurate work on small, delicate areas as well as larger cortical bone. Ergonomic, non-slip handles support a firm, balanced grip for precise depth control and reduced fatigue during demanding procedures.

Primary Benefits
-
Enables precise bone reshaping with minimal collateral damage
-
Facilitates clean osteotomies that support stable fixation and better healing
-
Provides tactile feedback, helping surgeons gauge bone density and depth
-
Versatile instrument suitable for both routine and complex orthopedic cases
Typical Applications
-
Corrective osteotomies and deformity correction
-
Joint reconstruction and arthroplasty preparation
-
Trauma surgery for controlled bone removal and realignment
-
Spine, hand, foot and maxillofacial orthopedic procedures, as appropriate
Compared to powered saws, orthopedic osteotomes offer superior control in confined or delicate areas, generate less heat, and preserve more viable bone, making them an essential choice where precision and bone conservation matter most.
