Maxillofacial bone separator

Maxillofacial bone separators are surgical instruments designed to carefully split or separate facial, jaw, or palate bones during reconstructive or corrective procedures. Clinically, they assist in procedures like sagittal split osteotomies by creating controlled gaps without cutting or shaping bone, ensuring precision in bone repositioning.

These devices are typically reusable metal instruments, available in either a single curved blade design or a hinged two-blade configuration. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, with supply often restricted to sterile processing in healthcare settings.
