Frequently asked questions
How does this differ from a standard chisel?
The Andrews Osteotome features a double-bevelled tip, unlike a standard chisel which is beveled on only one side. This specialized design allows for more precise and effective bone chipping during procedures, such as mastoid surgery.
Is this instrument built for rigorous surgical use?
Yes, it is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel specifically designed to withstand the repeated force of mallet strikes. This durable construction ensures the tool maintains its integrity during demanding bone removal procedures.
Is this instrument safe for latex-sensitive patients?
Absolutely. The Sklar Andrews Osteotome is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable choice for environments where latex sensitivity or allergies are a concern.
What specific surgical procedures is this for?
It is engineered primarily for bone removal and shaping procedures, particularly those involving the mastoid process. Its robust design is essential for surgeons needing controlled bone manipulation in ear-related surgeries.
Is this designed for multiple clinical uses?

Does this meet TAA compliance standards?
Yes, this Sklar instrument is fully TAA compliant, meeting the regulatory standards often required for procurement in government and institutional medical facilities.
Is it compatible with manual mallet use?
Yes, it is specifically designed for use in conjunction with a mallet. The instrument’s solid, heavy construction allows it to effectively transfer force for controlled bone chipping.
Does the tip offer precise cutting capabilities?
Yes, it features a 9mm, sharp, beveled tip that is designed for accuracy. This geometry provides the necessary edge for effective bone manipulation while maintaining essential durability.
