Frequently asked questions
Is the stainless steel used surgical-grade?
Yes, this instrument is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel. This material is chosen specifically for its robust, corrosion-resistant properties, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization cycles in a clinical environment.
Does the bayonet handle improve surgical visibility?
Absolutely. The bayonet-style handle is specifically designed to provide surgeons with an unobstructed line of sight. By offsetting the handle from the shaft, it allows for enhanced control and a clearer view when working in delicate or confined surgical fields.
Is the instrument safe for latex-sensitive patients?

What is the total length of this instrument?
The Sklar Cervical Bone Waxer has an overall length of 9-1/2 inches, providing an ideal balance of reach and precision for orthopedic and neurological procedures.
How should this instrument be prepared for use?
As this instrument is delivered in a non-sterile state, it must undergo standard hospital reprocessing and sterilization procedures before it is used in any clinical or surgical setting.
Does the design help prevent slipping during surgery?
