Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome

The Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome is a specialized instrument used in maxillofacial and orthognathic surgery to create or widen bony osteotomies. It features a unique wedge-shaped, double-beveled blade that is driven into a bone cut to gently separate fragments or expand the osteotomy site. This controlled “wedging” action is particularly useful in procedures like sagittal split ramus osteotomy of the mandible, where it helps to gradually separate the bone segments along the planned fracture line with minimal trauma, facilitating safe mobilization and repositioning of the jaw.

Key Features:

• Wedge-Shaped Blade: Tapered, double-beveled design for gradual, controlled bone separation.

• Controlled Expansion: Used to gently widen an existing osteotomy line without causing uncontrolled fracture.

• Ideal for Mandibular Surgery: Essential for the sagittal split osteotomy technique in orthognathic surgery.

• Minimizes Trauma: Allows for careful separation along the bony interface, preserving vascularity.

• Robust Construction: Crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel for durability under force.

• Ergonomic Handle: Designed for a secure grip and precise application of mallet strikes.

Achieve controlled bone separation for complex jaw realignment. The Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome from Medic instrument provides the specialized design needed for safe and precise osteotomy expansion in maxillofacial surgery.
