Smith-Petersen Osteotome

straight, 6-1/4" (16.0 cm) US Army Pattern Gouge is a specialized instrument designed for removal of specific segments of bone. This gouge is designed similarly to a chisel but the blade portion features a curvature to it allowing it to be used to scoop up segments. The opposite end of this gouge has a rounded, flat end that can be used with a mallet to increase the driving force to effectively pierce through bone. This gouge is available in three sizes 6.0 mm, 12.0 mm and 18.0 mm making them well suited for larger bones in the spinal surgery and smaller ones for more delicate work on the skull.

swiss pattern, 5-1/8" (13.0 cm) 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.

This chisel features a large plastic handle that is easy to grip. Additionally this handle is sterilizable up to 143 degrees c making it well suited for use in multiple surgical procedures without the concern of contamination or infection. This chisel features a long slim neck that flares out into a flat wide blade perfect for scraping action along bone and also in actual cutting of bone. This instrument is available in a wide variety of widths and two different lengths: 7" and 8 5/8" to accommodate a variety of surgical scenarios and surgeon preferences.

8" (20.0 cm) Smith Peterson Gouge is crafted for use in surgical procedures that require manipulation of bone such as scooping or creating a hole. This instrument can be used to increase access to the central soft tissue portion of the bone or in prepping bones from grafting. Uniquely this gouge features a rounded handle that increases gripping and allowing for firm handling and maneuverability. Additionally this instrument is available in either a straight or curved pattern and in seven sizes ranging in width from 6.0 mm to 30.00.
