An orthopaedic osteotome is a surgical tool used to precisely cut or reshape bone during orthopaedic procedures. Surgeons use it in combination with a mallet to apply controlled force, enabling clean incisions or adjustments in bone structure during operations like fractures, joint replacements, or corrective surgeries.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel or composite handles, and are regulated as surgical instruments. Classification and supply vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to strict manufacturing and safety standards to ensure reliability in clinical use.
