Plastic surgery osteotome

Plastic surgery osteotomes are precision surgical tools used to cut, shape, or reshape small bones and cartilage during reconstructive or cosmetic procedures. Surgeons rely on them to refine structures like nasal cartilage, ensuring smooth contours and structural integrity during operations such as rhinoplasty or facial reconstruction.

These instruments are typically reusable, made from high-grade stainless steel, and require manual force—applied via a mallet—to perform their function. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to strict manufacturing and safety standards to ensure sterility and performance in sterile environments.
