Mini-Lambotte Osteotome

Description

Mini-Lambotte Osteotome

The Mini-Lambotte osteotome shrinks the classic Lambotte blade for small bones. It keeps the thin, tapered edge but in a size that suits the hand, the foot and the face.

Two lengths

You can order it at 12.5 cm or 17 cm. Besides, the short version gives close control on a small field. Meanwhile, the longer one adds reach when the bone lies deeper.

Seven fine widths

Widths run 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 mm in both lengths. So a surgeon can start a cut with a narrow blade and then widen it. That step-by-step approach lowers the risk of a stray fracture line.

Where the Mini-Lambotte osteotome helps

Hand, foot and maxillofacial teams use it for small osteotomies and graft work. Also, it suits pediatric cases, where bones are small and soft. Because the blade is thin, it leaves a fine kerf and preserves more bone stock.

Mallet and grip

A light mallet suits these small blades well. Hold the shank close to the bone, with the fingers resting on the patient side for control. Then use short taps rather than heavy blows.

Mini-Lambotte osteotome options

• Overall length 12.5 cm or 17 cm
• Seven widths in each length, 3 to 15 mm
• Thin blade with a bevel on both faces
• Supplied clean but not sterile

Handling small edges

Small blades lose their edge fast if they rattle in a tray. So give each one a slot, and clean it soon after use. Then dry it fully before sterilization.

The support for your osteotome

Our team in Atlanta assesses each osteotome closely before it ships. Should every osteotome develop a workmanship flaw, you keep three years against manufacturing defects. For facts on surgical alloys, open ASTM F899. We gladly confirm details before you buy. For a similar job, see our full-size Lambotte pattern. For answers on returns, scan the FAQ page. Matching patterns live in the orthopedic department. Larger units keep an extra osteotome so a case never waits.

Clinical use by professionals. The reprocessing guide discusses differences in pictures as well as nickel in the steel. Visit our delivery policy for lead times.
