Alexander Mastoid Chisel

The Alexander Mastoid Chisel features a solid, single-ended design with a sharply beveled tip ideal for controlled bone removal. Measuring approximately 17.5 cm in length, the chisel has a narrow cutting blade designed to access compact mastoid bone structures. Its rigid shaft ensures stability during mallet-assisted procedures, while the working end maintains shape and sharpness over time.

A square, ergonomically designed handle offers good grip and stability, allowing surgeons to maintain directional control during delicate movements. These chisels are forged from high-quality German stainless steel, making them extremely resistant to corrosion and structural damage. They may be sanitized several times without losing their durability because they are entirely reusable. Each unit is non-sterile and suitable for use in an operating room.

The Alexander Mastoid Chisel is generally used in otologic and neurotologic operations, namely mastoidectomy and associated ear procedures. Surgeons use them to remove sections of the mastoid bone, clean contaminated air cells, and get access to middle ear structures. Their size and inclined cutting surface are ideal for precision bone sculpting around sensitive auditory tissue.

Globally recognized for their dependable performance in ENT surgeries, these chisels reflect the commitment to quality upheld by Medic Instrument. The instrument’s long service life, paired with its balanced design, makes it a reliable tool in demanding operative settings where precision and control are vital.

What is the best way to maintain the chisel’s sharp edge over repeated use?
Regular inspection and professional sharpening when dull are recommended. Always use a fine sharpening stone and maintain the original bevel angle to preserve cutting efficiency while ensuring safety and accuracy during surgical procedures.
