Osteotome

An osteotome is a surgical instrument used for cutting or preparing bone. It resembles a chisel and is typically used in orthopedic, dental, and neurosurgical procedures. Unlike a standard chisel, an osteotome is beveled on both sides to create precise, clean cuts without removing excessive bone tissue. Osteotomes come in various sizes and shapes, including straight or curved tips, to suit specific surgical needs. They are commonly used in procedures such as osteotomies, bone graft harvesting, and sinus lift surgeries in implant dentistry.
