Bone File #12

Polokoff Bone File is a widely used instrument in surgery to aid in mild bone reshaping. Orthopedic neurosurgical procedures such as craniotomies or spinal surgeries such as discectomies require manipulation and handling of very delicate tissue such as nerves or brain tissue itself as well as a vast amount of vasculature. This file can be used to reshape or whittle down bone fragments that are sharp or jagged and could cause injury to any of the above tissue. Additionally this file is available with a short head and fine serrations or a long head with medium serrations.

double-ended, down-cutting teeth, medium & large ends, octagonal handle, 7-1/4" (18.4 cm) Miller-Colburn File can be used to soften jagged edges or rough surfaces on bone or other hard surfaces. This file features a slim, octagonal body shaft that doubles as a handle from which two different sizes blade extend on either side. Both ends features down-cutting teeth that allow it to grab hold and uniformly file away at a surface such as the skull or vertebral fragment to protect surrounding tissue from damage in craniotomies or spinal surgeries.

flat blades, double-ended flat blades, 18.0 mm width tapers to 4.0 mm, 1 end curved up, 1 end curved sideways, 10-1/2" (26.5 cm)Putti Bone Rasp is an instrument ideally suited for use in surgeries that require handling and particularly mild reshaping of bone such as in neurosurgical or orthopedic surgeries. . This instrument is double ended and features two flat blades. The unique design of this rasp is in the leap shaped silhouette that tapers from 18.00 mm to 4.0 mm that allows it to be fit into slim and narrow spaces and effectively whittle down bone or hard tissue from any angle.

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.
