ADMIRE SURGICAL ’s Osteotomes in Surgical Instruments: Precision Tools for Bone Surgery
Osteotomes are specialized surgical instruments used in orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery to cut and shape bone. These precision tools play a crucial role in procedures such as bone grafting, osteotomy, and orthognathic surgery, where precise bone manipulation is required for optimal outcomes. Let’s delve deeper into the world of osteotomes, exploring their design, applications, and importance in modern surgical practice.
Design and Construction: Osteotomes are typically made from high-quality surgical stainless steel, ensuring their durability and resistance to corrosion. They come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different surgical needs. The most common design features a flat, chisel-like blade at one end and a handle at the other. The blade may be straight or angled, depending on the intended use. Some osteotomes have a serrated edge to enhance cutting efficiency, while others are designed for delicate, controlled bone sculpting.
Applications:
- Bone Cutting: Osteotomes are primarily used for cutting through bone, making them essential in procedures like osteotomies, where bone segments need to be repositioned or reshaped. This can be crucial in orthognathic surgery to correct jaw alignment or in reconstructive surgery after bone fractures.
- Bone Splitting: In addition to cutting, osteotomes are also employed to split bones along a predetermined path. This is particularly useful in bone grafting procedures, where a section of bone needs to be separated for transplantation to another site.
- Sinus Lifts: In maxillofacial surgery, osteotomes are utilized to perform sinus lifts, a procedure aimed at increasing bone height in the upper jaw to accommodate dental implants. By gently tapping the osteotome, surgeons create a space under the sinus membrane, promoting new bone formation.
- Alveolar Ridge Expansion: Dental surgeons use osteotomes to expand the alveolar ridge (the bony ridge that holds the teeth) when preparing the site for dental implants. This ensures adequate bone volume and stability for implant placement.
