Sklar Army Pattern Chisel, 12mm
A 6-1/2 inch bone chisel with a 12mm cutting width, used for controlled bone cutting during orthopedic surgical procedures. It is stocked by hospitals and clinics performing this type of procedure.
The Sklar Army Pattern Chisel is a bone cutting instrument measuring 6-1/2 inches, following the Army pattern design that is widely used across general orthopedic surgery for making controlled cuts through bone. At a 12mm cutting width, this variant suits moderate bone sections, offering a balance between cutting efficiency and control that fits many routine orthopedic tasks such as osteotomies and bone graft harvesting.
This listing spans three variants within the Army Pattern Chisel family, giving the surgical team a small range of related configurations to choose from. As with other orthopedic chisels, it is typically advanced through bone using mallet strikes in a controlled, incremental fashion rather than by hand pressure alone.
The Army pattern is a long-established, general purpose design recognised across orthopedic practice, making it a common baseline chisel stocked in most orthopedic instrument trays alongside more specialised chisel patterns used for specific procedures.
