Bone File #12Ca

double-ended, plain serrations, 6.0 mm & 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm) Bone File #45 is an instrument crafted for use in neurosurgical orthopedic procedures. It features a hexagonal body that also serves as a grip that makes it easy to handle manually. This file is double ended and features plain serrations as well as two different sized ends: 6.0 mm and 5.0 mm. This instrument can be useful in surgical procedures that require filing or reshaping of bone particularly to prevent damage to surround tissue. Ideally it can be used to protect delicate brain tissue and neurovascular bundles from sharp jagged edges from breaks or from cuts made in surgery.

double-ended, cross-cut, 7" (18.0 cm) Bone File is a highly versatile instrument that can be used in a vast array of surgical procedures. This file is double ended and is cross cut. The small paddle style blades allow it to be used near delicate tissue areas as are common in neurosurgical procedures and not cause trauma or injury by puncture wound. Additionally use of this file on jagged bone breaks or cuts or even on rough hard surfaces aids in the protected of neurovascular bundles and other tissue layers that are mobilized during surgery that can easily be torn or injured.

bayonet, 1 side flat & 1 side convex w/ cross-serrations, 9-1/2" (24.0 cm)Bone Rasp is designed to aid in manipulation of bone and other hard tissue surfaces. It can be used to scrape or file away at these surfaces to give them a smoother finish for a variety of reasons. Mainly it is well suited for use in neurosurgical or orthopedic surgeries because these coarse bony areas can cause damage to surrounding tissue if they are not evened out with a file or raspatory. This rasp is a bayonet style and features one flat size and one convex side with cross-serrations that makes it well suited for filing.

straight, coarse teeth, 6.5" (16.5 cm) Gallaher Rasp is ideally suited for use in shaping or whittling down bone and other hard tissue. It can aid in prevention of further trauma or injury to soft tissue layers such as brain in craniotomies or to the spinal cord or neurovascular bundles in laminectomies. A unique feature of this rasp is the additional loop affixed to the base of the handle for placement of the thumb for added grip and maneuvering. Additionally this rasp is straight and features coarse teeth.
