Lexer Osteotome Handle From Artificial Wood

Description

Lexer Osteotome Handle From Artificial Wood

This Lexer osteotome pairs a steel blade with a handle made from artificial wood. The broad handle fills the palm, so the surgeon can steer the edge while an assistant taps with a mallet.

Why the handle matters

A round, wide grip spreads the force of each blow across the hand. Because of this, the blade stays where you place it. The artificial wood also feels warmer and less slippery than bare metal when gloves are wet.

Lengths, widths and edges

At 22 cm you can pick 7, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 mm, each straight or curved. The 27.5 cm version comes in 10 and 15 mm with a straight edge. So the longer pair suits deeper approaches, while the short range covers most daily cuts.

Choosing a Lexer osteotome

The pattern honors Erich Lexer, a founder of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Pick a straight edge for clean, linear cuts. Instead, choose a curved edge when the bone surface rolls away from you.

Handle and blade care

Scrub the joint between blade and handle, since debris likes to hide there. Then rinse well and dry the whole instrument. Avoid soaking the handle for long periods, and inspect it for cracks at each service.
