Should I sterilize the instrument before its first use?
Yes. This chisel is supplied as non-sterile. It must be properly cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for surgical instrumentation before it is used in any procedure.
What are the exact dimensions of the blade and handle?
The instrument features a precise 7mm blade width designed for targeted bone work, and it has an overall length of 7.5 inches, providing an ideal balance between reach and maneuverability.
Is the construction durable enough for repetitive clinical use?
The chisel is built with professional-grade metallic construction, featuring a durable satin finish designed to withstand the rigors of surgical environments. When maintained properly, it is designed for long-term, repeated clinical use.
Is this a single-use or reusable instrument?
This is a reusable surgical instrument. Because it is delivered non-sterile and backed by a lifetime warranty, it is intended to be processed, sterilized, and reused following established medical device reprocessing guidelines.
What makes the tip design effective for surgery?
The working end features a curved, angled blade profile. This geometry is specifically engineered to provide the precision required for osteotomies, allowing for cleaner bone removal and shaping compared to a standard straight edge.
