Product Overview
Designed to help cut and separate bone segments for angular corrections of long bones
After an initial bone cut has been made with a saw blade or sharp osteotome—but before penetrating through it—the osteo wedges can be used to help complete the bone cut through the opposite cortex by spiltting the bone.
If the osteo wedges do penetrate, they are blunt and rounded, helping to prevent damage to the soft tissues and other structures contiguous to the bone cortex.
The osteo wedges can be used anytime both cortices of a bone are osteotomized. Helpful when correcting mal-unions, growth deformities, collecting bone graft material, etc. Can be used on the femur, tibia, humerus, clavicle, calcaneous, metatarsals/metacarpals, pelvis, and vertebral bodies.
