Sklar Andrews Osteotome, 6 Inch
A 6 inch osteotome used for controlled bone cutting, offered with tip widths of 5mm, 7mm, 9mm and 11mm. It remains a routine addition to matching specialty instrument trays.
The Sklar Andrews Osteotome is a bone cutting instrument measuring 6 inches, used in orthopedic and reconstructive surgery to make controlled, incremental cuts through bone, typically advanced with mallet strikes rather than hand pressure alone. This listing spans four tip width variants of the same osteotome, ranging from 5mm up to 11mm, giving the surgical team a graduated set of cutting widths to match different stages of bone work, with narrower tips suited to fine, precise cuts and wider tips suited to faster removal of larger bone sections.
Osteotomes of this type are a staple in orthopedic procedures such as osteotomies, joint reconstruction and bone grafting, where the surgeon needs to divide or shape bone cleanly while maintaining control over the direction and depth of each cut. Orthopedic instrument trays typically stock the full range of tip widths from this family together, since a single procedure often calls for more than one width as the surgeon moves through different bone thicknesses.
