Variant Selection Guide

Fig B – 10mm Osteotome

The Fig B 10mm option has a narrower working width for controlled and localized bone modification. It may be selected when the procedure requires focused contact, access to a smaller operative area, or precise trimming and shaping.

Fig D – 14mm Osteotome

The Fig D 14mm option provides a wider working surface for procedures requiring broader contact with the bone. It may be selected for controlled cutting, surface preparation, and contouring across a comparatively wider area.

The appropriate figure and width must be selected by the operating professional according to the surgical site, anatomy, procedural requirements, and preferred technique.

Professional Usage Guidance

1. Select the appropriate figure and working-end width for the procedure.
2. Inspect the cutting end, shaft, handle, alignment, and surface condition before use.
3. Position the working end carefully against the intended bone surface.
4. Apply controlled pressure or use an appropriate surgical mallet when required by the selected operative technique.
5. Avoid uncontrolled impact, excessive lateral force, twisting, or use outside the instrument’s intended function.
6. Inspect, clean, disinfect, and sterilize the instrument after every procedure.

Cleaning, Care and Sterilization

• Begin instrument reprocessing promptly after use to prevent biological material from drying on the surface.
• Remove visible debris using an appropriate instrument-cleaning brush and approved cleaning solution.
• Use a neutral-pH detergent suitable for reusable stainless steel surgical instruments.
• Pay particular attention to the working edge, transitions, and recessed areas during cleaning.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove cleaning-agent residue.
• Dry the instrument completely before sterilization or storage.
• Sterilize according to the healthcare facility’s validated protocol and the applicable product documentation.
• Store in a clean, dry instrument tray that protects the working edge from contact damage.

Inspection Before Use

Before every procedure, inspect the osteotome for edge damage, deformation, corrosion, cracks, surface defects, misalignment, or excessive wear. Do not use the instrument if its structural integrity or cutting performance appears compromised.
