Epkers Osteotome - Maxillofacial Surgery

The Epkers Osteotome is a specialized instrument in maxillofacial and orthognathic surgery, designed for performing precise sagittal split osteotomies of the mandible. This procedure is a cornerstone for correcting jaw deformities. The osteotome features a thin, sharp, tapered blade that is carefully inserted into the medial ramus to complete the bony cut between the buccal and lingual cortices, facilitating the controlled “split” of the mandible. Its specific geometry allows for safe separation along the planned osteotomy line while protecting the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle, making it indispensable for advanced corrective jaw surgery.

Key Features:

• Thin, Tapered Blade: Designed for precise insertion and completion of the sagittal split osteotomy.

• Specific to Mandibular Surgery: Essential for the medial cut in bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO).

• Controlled Bone Separation: Allows for safe splitting of the mandible along the natural bony plane.

• Neurovascular Protection: Design aims to minimize risk to the inferior alveolar nerve.

• Ergonomic Handle: Provides a secure grip for accurate, controlled mallet strikes.

• Durable Construction: Crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel for reliability.
