swiss pattern, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm)Â Mini-Lambotte Osteotome is an instrument designed for use in cutting bone. This osteotome is crafted with a Swiss pattern. Osteotome offer significant advantages over drilling because they do not generate heat which can be damaging and also offer an increased level of tactile sensation. This instrument is available in a straight profile at twelve different lengths from 2.0 mm to 24.0 mm in 2 mm increments or in a set of nine. This instrument is also available in a curved profile in seven different lengths from 2.0 to 14.0 mm in 2 mm increments.
Miskimon Cerebellar Retractor
angled arms, 7x7 sharp prongs, 32.0 mm deep, 8-3/4" (22.0 cm)Miskimon Cerebellar Retractor is ideally suited for use in procedures that require cerebellar retraction. The cerebellum itself can be cushion and safe from damage by the placement of cotton strips. This retractor can be used to secure soft tissue and move it to clear the surgical field. This instrument has angled arms and sharp prongs making it able to effectively grip tissue and secure it with a ratcheting mechanism.
Moore Drill
Moore DrillMoore Drill is ideally suited for use in creating holes or expanding already made holes in bone such as in the skull or other bony parts of the body. These holes can be used for increased access to underlying tissue such as in craniotomies or in areas such as the arm or leg to create access for pins or wires. A unique aspect of this instrument is that it is handheld and can be cranked manually. This is available as a complete set including a drill and two bits or each portion is available individually.

Murphy-Lane Bone Retractor
12" (30.0 cm)Murphy Lane Bone Retractor is a general purpose instrument that can serve a variety of uses in orthopedic surgical procedures. The main purpose of this is to retract muscle and other soft tissue layers away form bone. Doing this allows better exposure of the surgical field and protects the surrounding tissue areas from unnecessary damage. Additionally the unique design of this instrument features a scoop like end.
Nail & Bone Rasp
double ended, backwards cutting, 6-3/4" (17.1 cm)Â Nail and Bone Rasp is ideal for a number of different neurosurgical orthopedic type surgeries. This rasp is double ended making it a two in one and can quickly switch between thw two heads. It has the ability to be backwards cutting. This instrument features serrations that allow either end to be used to whittle down or smooth roughened surfaces. In craniotomies or spinal surgeries such jagged edges can cause tearing on delicate tissue such as brain tissue or individual nerves and vasculature.
Narrow Nose Wire Pulling Forceps
3mm tip, 7-1/2" (19.1 cm)Â Narrow Nose Wire Pulling Forceps are ideally suited for use in a variety of orthopedic procedures that require the use of wire. A wide range of procedures such as fracture repair requires the use of wire to stabilize the bone fragments to accelerate the healing process. This forceps is made in an extra heavy jaw pattern that makes it ideal for pulling K-wire and Steinmann pins. This instrument features a 3.0 mm tip that allows it to fit into more difficult to access areas.
