Frequently asked questions
Is this osteotome suitable for repeated surgical use?
Yes, this is a reusable orthopedic instrument designed for longevity. It is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring it can withstand repeated in-house sterilization protocols while maintaining its structural integrity.
How does the handle design improve grip or control?
The instrument features a distinct hexagonal handle that provides a stable, ergonomic grip compared to standard round patterns. The handle culminates in a wide, blunt striking end, which is optimized for impact when used with a surgical mallet.
Is this tool safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this Sklar Stille Osteotome is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.
