Bone File #12

Polokoff Bone File is a widely used instrument in surgery to aid in mild bone reshaping. Orthopedic neurosurgical procedures such as craniotomies or spinal surgeries such as discectomies require manipulation and handling of very delicate tissue such as nerves or brain tissue itself as well as a vast amount of vasculature. This file can be used to reshape or whittle down bone fragments that are sharp or jagged and could cause injury to any of the above tissue. Additionally this file is available with a short head and fine serrations or a long head with medium serrations.

double-ended, plain serrations, 6.0 mm & 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm) Bone File #33 is ideally suit for use in neurosurgical and orthopedic surgeries that require manipulation of bone in and around delicate tissue structures. This type of instrument can be useful in filing down the skull in procedures like craniotomies or in reshaping the vertebral arch during laminectomies or hemi-laminectomies. This gives added protection to the brain tissue or neurovascular bundles that can pass over these cut surfaces that may be jagged and could cause additionally injury or trauma. Additionally this file is double ended with plain serrations and features a 6.0 mm and 5.0 mm wide ends.

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.

double-ended, plain serrations, 6.0 mm & 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm) Bone File #45 is an instrument crafted for use in neurosurgical orthopedic procedures. It features a hexagonal body that also serves as a grip that makes it easy to handle manually. This file is double ended and features plain serrations as well as two different sized ends: 6.0 mm and 5.0 mm. This instrument can be useful in surgical procedures that require filing or reshaping of bone particularly to prevent damage to surround tissue. Ideally it can be used to protect delicate brain tissue and neurovascular bundles from sharp jagged edges from breaks or from cuts made in surgery.
