Chisels, Osteotomes and Mallets
Shaping bone and cartilage is a key step in rhinoplasty, facial contouring and reconstructive surgery. Medfort chisels and osteotomes hold a sharp, true edge that cuts bone cleanly with controlled taps of the mallet, and our mallets are balanced to give a precise, consistent strike. The range covers straight, curved, guarded and specialty patterns (codes PS-0501 to PS-0555).
Where they are used
These instruments are used for lateral and medial osteotomies in rhinoplasty, hump removal, septal surgery, genioplasty, mandible and zygoma contouring, cleft and craniofacial surgery, and bone graft harvesting.
Our range
- Guarded osteotomes: Cottle, Blume, Cinelli and Fomon, with a guard that shows the position of the blade under the skin
- Specialty osteotomes: Fanous, and the Cottle bone lever / splitting osteotome
- Chisels: Ballenger septum chisel and Cottle chisel
- Mallets: Bergmann mallet, and solid head cervical mallets from 210 g to 360 g
Material and finish
Orthopedic and bone instruments are made from hardened surgical grade stainless steel, so they keep their edge and their shape under heavy force. Compound action patterns multiply hand pressure for easier cutting. Tungsten carbide (TC) inserts are used on selected cutters and pliers for a longer working life.
How to choose
Guarded osteotomes are the usual choice for lateral nasal osteotomies, because the guard lets the surgeon feel the blade position through the skin. Choose the blade width to suit the bone: narrow for fine nasal work, wider for the mandible and chin. A lighter mallet gives finer control, while a heavier mallet suits denser bone.
Quality control
Every bone instrument is checked for hardness after heat treatment. Cutting edges are test-cut, jaws are checked for alignment, and springs and joints are tested for smooth action. Finished instruments are passivated, cleaned and packed.
Care and sterilization
Remove all bone fragments and tissue straight after use, especially from jaws, teeth and joints. Clean, dry and lubricate moving parts. All instruments are suitable for standard steam sterilization. Check cutting edges regularly and send them for sharpening when needed.
