EPKER Osteotome

The Epker Osteotome is a specialized instrument primarily used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for performing precise osteotomies of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) during orthognathic (corrective jaw) surgery. Named after the renowned surgeon, its design is optimized for specific cuts in procedures like the Le Fort I osteotomy or sagittal split ramus osteotomy. It typically features a thin, sharp blade that allows for controlled bone cuts in the complex, vascular anatomy of the jaws while helping to protect vital structures like the inferior alveolar nerve.

Key Features:

• Thin, sharp blade designed for precise osteotomies in orthognathic jaw surgery.

• Specifically used for cuts in Le Fort I, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), and other maxillofacial procedures.

• Allows for controlled bone separation with minimal trauma to surrounding soft tissues and nerves.

• Essential for achieving predictable bone movement and stable fixation in corrective jaw surgery.

• A fundamental instrument in the toolkit of oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

• Forged from high-quality surgical steel for durability and a lasting sharp edge.
