Bone raspatory

A bone raspatory is a surgical tool designed to carefully separate the periosteum—the fibrous tissue covering bones—from the underlying bone during procedures like orthopedic surgery or fracture repair. Its scraping edge, often curved or chisel-shaped, allows surgeons to gently lift or detach tissue while preserving bone integrity, aiding in precise bone manipulation or exposure.

These instruments are typically reusable, made from high-grade stainless steel, and come in various shapes and sizes to suit different surgical needs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to medical device standards, ensuring safety and performance in clinical use.
