Sklar Anderson-Neivert Osteotome, Guarded Tip
An 8 inch osteotome with a guarded 7mm tip, used to cut bone with control, offered straight or curved left and right. It is a standard item in professional surgical instrument trays.
The Sklar Anderson-Neivert Osteotome is a bone cutting instrument measuring 8 inches, used in orthopedic and reconstructive surgery to make controlled cuts through bone during procedures such as osteotomies, bone grafting and joint reconstruction. Its tip carries a guard feature intended to protect surrounding soft tissue from the cutting edge as the osteotome is advanced, at a working width of 7mm suited to moderate bone sections.
This listing offers three variants, a straight pattern and curved left and right options, allowing the surgeon to select the profile that best matches the angle and direction of the intended bone cut relative to the surgical approach. Osteotomes of this type are typically struck with a mallet to advance the cutting edge through bone in a controlled, incremental fashion rather than being used as a hand-pressure cutting tool.
Orthopedic and craniofacial surgery trays commonly stock the full range of curvature options together so the surgeon can adapt to the specific bone geometry encountered during the case.
