Wedge Osteotome

A Wedge Osteotome is a specialized surgical chisel with a blade that tapers to a fine edge, creating a wedge-shaped profile. This design is engineered to split bone along its natural grain or to create a controlled fracture line by acting as a “wedge” that is driven into the bone. It is commonly used in orthopedic surgery for procedures like opening wedge osteotomies (e.g., high tibial osteotomy), in dental surgery for splitting teeth, and in craniofacial surgery.

Key Features:

• Wedge-shaped blade designed to split bone or create controlled fracture lines.

• Used in opening wedge osteotomies to correct bone alignment (e.g., for knee arthritis).

• Also used in oral surgery for tooth sectioning and bone splitting.

• Provides a controlled method for dividing bone with minimal fragmentation.

• Available in various widths to create different-sized osteotomy gaps.

• Essential for corrective osteotomy procedures in multiple specialties.
