Bone File #64

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 #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.

double-ended, down-cutting teeth, medium & large ends, octagonal handle, 7-1/4" (18.4 cm) Miller-Colburn File can be used to soften jagged edges or rough surfaces on bone or other hard surfaces. This file features a slim, octagonal body shaft that doubles as a handle from which two different sizes blade extend on either side. Both ends features down-cutting teeth that allow it to grab hold and uniformly file away at a surface such as the skull or vertebral fragment to protect surrounding tissue from damage in craniotomies or spinal surgeries.

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.
