Rasps & Files

5-1/8" (13.0 cm) Bone and Skin Rasp is a unique instrument ideal for use in surgical procedures that require manipulation of bone and other hard tissue surfaces. This rasp features a long, slim handle from which extends a spatula like protrusion that has an alternating pattern of dots on it that makes this surface suited for slight filing. Not as abrasive as a file this rasp can be used for the mild reshaping of bone or more delicate semi-solid tissue layers such as bone to prevent sharp edges from causing damage to other adjacent tissue or vasculature.

double-ended, plain serrations, 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm) Bone File #10 is a general purpose instrument useful in surgical procedures that require manipulation of bone. This file is double ended making it quick and easy to switch to another unused file without having to switch instrumentation. Each end features plain serrations and is 5.0 mm wide. Additionally this instrument features a slightly textured handle surface that reduces slippage making this instrument ideally suited for a variety of precise neurosurgical procedures.

double-ended, plain serrations, 6.0 mm & 5.0 mm wide ends, 7" (17.5 cm) Bone File #33 is ideally suit for use in neurosurgical and orthopedic surgeries that require manipulation of bone in and around delicate tissue structures. This type of instrument can be useful in filing down the skull in procedures like craniotomies or in reshaping the vertebral arch during laminectomies or hemi-laminectomies. This gives added protection to the brain tissue or neurovascular bundles that can pass over these cut surfaces that may be jagged and could cause additionally injury or trauma. Additionally this file is double ended with plain serrations and features a 6.0 mm and 5.0 mm wide ends.

double-ended, plain serrations, 3.0 mm & 4.0 mm wide, 7" (17.5 cm) Bone File #64 is a double ended instrument that can be used in a variety of surgical procedures. This file features plain serrations and can be used to smooth out sharp edges on bone during surgery. In surgeries where such delicate tissue is involved such as nerves, vessels or even brain tissue it is imperative to keep sharp surfaces from causing tear injuries. Additionally this instrument is comprised of premium German operating-room grade stainless steel.

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.

double ended, backwards cutting, 6-3/4" (17.1 cm) Nail and Bone Rasp is ideal for a number of different neurosurgical orthopedic type surgeries. This rasp is double ended making it a two in one and can quickly switch between thw two heads. It has the ability to be backwards cutting. This instrument features serrations that allow either end to be used to whittle down or smooth roughened surfaces. In craniotomies or spinal surgeries such jagged edges can cause tearing on delicate tissue such as brain tissue or individual nerves and vasculature.
