8¾″ Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome – 12mm Tip

The 8¾″ Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome – 12mm Tip is a high-quality surgical osteotome specifically designed to perform controlled wedge osteotomies, bone splitting, cortical bone separation, and bone contouring during oral, maxillofacial, craniofacial, and reconstructive surgical procedures. Based on the trusted Obwegeser design, this specialized instrument enables surgeons to create precise bone cuts while maintaining excellent control and minimizing trauma to surrounding anatomical structures. It is an essential instrument for orthognathic surgery, mandibular reconstruction, facial trauma repair, and corrective jaw procedures where predictable bone manipulation is critical. The instrument features a 12 mm wedge-shaped working tip , engineered to provide efficient force distribution during mallet-assisted osteotomies. The wider wedge profile facilitates gradual and controlled separation of cortical bone, making it particularly effective for mandibular splitting, bone expansion, and controlled osteotomy completion. The precision-ground blade helps surgeons produce clean osteotomy lines while preserving bone integrity and reducing the risk of unintended fractures. With an overall length of 8¾ inches , the osteotome provides excellent reach into deeper operative fields while maintaining superior balance and maneuverability. The extended shaft allows comfortable access to posterior mandibular regions and other anatomically restricted surgical sites frequently encountered during orthognathic and craniofacial procedures. Its ergonomic handle delivers a secure, non-slip grip, enhancing tactile feedback and reducing hand fatigue during lengthy operations. Manufactured from premium medical-grade surgical stainless steel , the 8¾″ Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome – 12mm Tip offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, staining, and mechanical wear. The instrument undergoes precision machining and heat treatment to ensure long-lasting edge retention, structural integrity, and dependable performance throughout repeated clinical use. This durable construction makes it well suited for hospitals, oral surgery clinics, maxillofacial centers, and teaching institutions where reliability is essential. The satin or matte finish minimizes glare under bright operating room lighting, allowing surgeons to maintain optimal visibility during intricate bone procedures. The smooth, polished surfaces facilitate thorough cleaning and decontamination, while the seamless construction supports effective sterilization and compliance with modern infection control protocols. These design features help maximize instrument longevity while ensuring consistent clinical performance. The 8¾″ Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome – 12mm Tip is commonly used during bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), mandibular osteotomy, Le Fort osteotomy, corrective jaw surgery, craniofacial reconstruction, facial trauma repair, bone graft harvesting, and reconstructive maxillofacial procedures. Its wedge-shaped tip enables controlled bone expansion and separation while preserving surrounding soft tissue, making it an indispensable addition to professional oral and maxillofacial surgical instrument sets. Designed for repeated professional use, this osteotome is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization procedures. Its premium stainless steel construction ensures dependable long-term performance, making it a trusted instrument for surgeons who require precision, durability, and consistent results in complex bone surgery.
