Frequently asked questions
Is this chisel suitable for heavy bone removal?
Yes, the Sklar Hibbs Chisel is specifically engineered for heavy bone removal. Unlike standard osteotomes, its single-sided bevel provides the mechanical advantage necessary for demanding orthopedic procedures.
What is the benefit of the curved blade design?
The curved blade profile is essential for navigating complex anatomical contours during surgery, allowing for better access and more effective management of bone structures compared to straight instruments.
Is the stainless steel construction durable for clinical use?
Yes, this instrument is constructed from high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel. This ensures the structural integrity and reliability required for repetitive use in busy clinical environments.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. The Sklar Hibbs Chisel is 100% latex-free, as it is not manufactured using natural rubber latex, making it safe for use in clinical settings with sensitive patients.
Is this a reusable surgical instrument?
Yes, the Hibbs Chisel is designed as a reusable instrument. Please ensure that standard medical sterilization protocols are followed between procedures, as the product is delivered in a non-sterile state.
Does this tool meet federal medical procurement standards?
Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring that it meets the necessary standards for government and institutional medical procurement.
How wide is the blade on this chisel?
The Sklar Hibbs Chisel features a blade width of 28mm, providing a broad surface area that is optimized for efficiently managing and removing heavier bone mass.
What is the total length of the instrument?
The total length of the instrument is 8-3/4 inches, providing a balanced profile that is both ergonomic and easy to handle during intricate surgical applications.
How should I maintain this stainless steel chisel?
As a professional-grade stainless steel tool, it should be maintained using standard surgical instrument cleaning and sterilization protocols. Always follow your facility’s guidelines for reprocessing reusable medical equipment to ensure longevity and patient safety.
Does this complement other orthopedic surgical tools?
Yes, the Hibbs Chisel is specifically intended to complement the Hibbs Osteotome. While the osteotome is ideal for precision cutting, this chisel is the preferred choice for the subsequent removal of heavy bone.
