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.

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.
