Pterygoid Osteotome

The Pterygoid Osteotome is a specialized surgical instrument designed for separating the maxilla from the pterygoid plates during orthognathic and craniofacial surgery, particularly in the Le Fort I osteotomy. It features a long, slender, and often curved blade that is carefully angled to reach the delicate pterygomaxillary junction located deep in the posterior maxilla. This design allows surgeons to perform a controlled osteotomy in a confined, vascular area, facilitating the safe mobilization of the maxilla for repositioning to correct malocclusions, facial asymmetries, and other skeletal deformities.

Key Features:

• Long, slender, and often curved blade for deep access to the pterygomaxillary junction.

• Specially angled tip designed to fit the anatomy between the maxilla and pterygoid plates.

• Essential for the posterior cut in Le Fort I osteotomies for maxillary mobilization.

• Enables controlled separation to minimize risk to the internal maxillary artery and other vital structures.

• Crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel for strength and precision.

• Fully autoclavable, built for use in complex maxillofacial and orthognathic procedures.

Perform safe and precise posterior maxillary osteotomies. The Pterygoid Osteotome from Medic instrument provides the specialized access and control required for successful orthognathic surgery and facial reconstruction.
