Blumenthal Rongeur
Blumenthal Rongeur is a versatile instrument that is useful in a variety of surgical scenarios. This instrument is designed with jaws that can be used to grasp at bone or other hard tissue surfaces and chip or cut away at it. Under the manual control of surgeon it can be used to gnaw away at surfaces such as cartilage for remodeling during surgery. This particular instrument is available with beaks at 30, 45 or 90 degree angles making it uniquely able to grasp tissue in areas that are difficult to reach with other instruments.
Blunt Jaw Pliers
5-1/2" (14.0 cm)?Blunt Jaw Pliers can be used in a variety of surgical procedures that require the insertion and manipulation of wires. This instrument features slightly rounded handles which makes it easy to hold and operate manually and is a traditionally utility poliers with adjustable jaws. The blunt jaws prevent breakage and splintering of the wire and allows for increased pressure to reshape it to the appropriate shape. Wires can be used to approximate fractures or can be inserted through skin and bone to provide traction on the bone.
Boehler Wire & Pin Extractor
Boehler Wire & Pin Extractor can be used in a variety of procedures to manipulate surgical pins and wire. Many orthopedic procedures such as repair of fractures or insertion of support after laminectomy procedures require the use of wire or pin. These added support confer additional stability to the bone and increase the speed of healing while reducing the damage done by trauma. This particular instrument can be used to insert, remove and reshape wires and pins as they are needed. This instrument is available in three different sizes to satisfy a variety of patient needs and surgeon preferences.
Bone & Skin Rasp
5-1/8" (13.0 cm)?Bone and Skin Rasp is a unique instrument ideal for use in surgical procedures that require manipulation of bone and other hard tissue surfaces. This rasp features a long, slim handle from which extends a spatula like protrusion that has an alternating pattern of dots on it that makes this surface suited for slight filing. Not as abrasive as a file this rasp can be used for the mild reshaping of bone or more delicate semi-solid tissue layers such as bone to prevent sharp edges from causing damage to other adjacent tissue or vasculature.
Bone Awl
Bone Awl
5-1/2" (14.0 cm)
Bone Awl can have a wide array of applications in orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. Generally speaking it is used to create or enlarge holes in bone. Specifically it is ideally used to create pilot holes in vertebrae during spinal surgeries. It can be used in bone grafting procedures where the bone needs to be prodded to assess its condition. This awl features a large teardrop shaped handle that makes it easy to handle manually and maintain a firm grip to increase accuracy.
Bone Chip Packer
Bone Chip Packer
10" (25.0 cm)Bone Chip Packer is an instrument designed to be used in a variety of orthopedic procedures. Specifically it can be used to pack in and solidify bone chips in fracture repair or other bone repair procedures. This instrument is available in three sizes including 2 mm x 9 mm, 6 mm x 9 mm and 3 mm by 16 mm.
Bone Clamp
Bone Clamp
curved, extra long ratchet, 5-3/4" (14.5 cm)
Bone Clamp is a versatile surgical instrument that can be used in a vast array of surgeries. It can be used in seismoidectomy procedures to grasp the small sesamoid bone or it can be used in simple grasping of long bones to aid in alignment. It features curve blades that allow it to dip into the surgical field while allowing the handle of the instrument to remain out of the surgical field. Additionally this clamp features an extra long ratchet that further increases its versatile and widths it can be set at.
Bone Clamp (Reposition Forceps)
Bone Clamp (Reposition Forceps)
extra long ratchet, curved, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm)
Bone Clamp is a general purpose clamp also referred to a reposition forceps for use in variety of procedures that require clamping and handling of bone. This instrument can be used when there has been a fracture to a bone and there are fragments that need to be removed but also in procedures that require alignment of bone segments and resetting. A unique feature of this clamp is the extra long ratchet that gives it an increased spectrum of widths as well as a slight curvature which allows it to be contoured to the bone shafts.
Bone File – Double-Ended
double-ended, cross-cut, 7" (18.0 cm)?Bone File is a highly versatile instrument that can be used in a vast array of surgical procedures. This file is double ended and is cross cut. The small paddle style blades allow it to be used near delicate tissue areas as are common in neurosurgical procedures and not cause trauma or injury by puncture wound. Additionally use of this file on jagged bone breaks or cuts or even on rough hard surfaces aids in the protected of neurovascular bundles and other tissue layers that are mobilized during surgery that can easily be torn or injured.
Bone File – Single-Ended
single-ended, 2-sided convex & flat blade, 23.0 mm width tapers to 6.0 mm, 11" (28.0 cm)?Bone File is a ideally suited for many different surgical procedures. It is specifically designed to be used to file away at bone fragments that are caused by breaks or cuts or on coarse hard tissues in different parts of the body. They can be especially useful in neurosurgical and orthopedic procedures that can involve maneuvering and exploring around many different bony areas such as the skull, long bones and vertebral column. Additionally this file is single sided with a convex and flat blade and a 23.0 mm width that tapers to 6.0 mm.
Bone File #10
double-ended, plain serrations, 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm)?Bone File #10 is a general purpose instrument useful in surgical procedures that require manipulation of bone. This file is double ended making it quick and easy to switch to another unused file without having to switch instrumentation. Each end features plain serrations and is 5.0 mm wide. Additionally this instrument features a slightly textured handle surface that reduces slippage making this instrument ideally suited for a variety of precise neurosurgical procedures.
Bone File #12
double-ended, plain serrations, 7.0 mm & 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm)?Bone File #12 can be used in a variety of surgical interventions in neurosurgery or orthopedic surgery. This instrument is double ended with each end featuring plain serrations. It is ideally suited for use in filing bones such as reducing a sharp or jagged bone edge to prevent damage to surround tissue or delicate neuro-vascular bundles. Additionally each even here is a different width: 7.0 mm and 5.0 mm making it versatile enough to be used in a number of different surgical scenarios and can satisfy any surgeon preference.
