A bone punch is a reusable surgical tool used to cut small bone samples or create precise openings during procedures like biopsies or fixation. Its design allows surgeons to extract controlled cross-sections by squeezing a spring-loaded handle, which activates a sharp, angled cutting jaw at the instrument’s tip.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet safety and performance standards for reuse. They’re often supplied sterile or as part of a surgical tray, requiring proper cleaning and sterilization between uses to maintain clinical efficacy and infection control.
