Enduro-Steel Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome for Controlled Bone Expansion
The Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome is a specialized component of the reconstructive surgical tray, specifically engineered for the mechanical expansion of osteotomy sites. Functioning as a high-performance mandibular expander, this instrument features a thick, triangular wedge profile that converts downward mallet force into lateral expansion pressure. Adas Instruments ensures that each bone splitting wedge is polished to a mirror-smooth finish on the lateral faces to minimize friction as it advances between bone segments. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their predictable force transmission and structural resilience.
Why Maxillofacial Specialists Choose Our Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome
- Graduated Wedge Geometry: Features a specialized tapering thickness to act as a versatile mandibular expander, allowing for the gradual and controlled widening of the sagittal split.
- Apex-Stature Stability: Specifically designed with a reinforced, broad handle to function as a reliable bone splitting wedge, providing the surgeon with superior control during high-impact maneuvers.
- Vantage-Point Force: The heavy-duty construction ensures that the wedge does not bend or torque when used to pry dense cortical bone.
- Zenith-Prime Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel to prevent chipping and ensure a long-term operative lifespan.
Primary Surgical Applications
- Widening the sagittal split in the mandibular ramus to allow for repositioning.
- utilizing the mandibular expander function to create space for interpositional bone grafts.
- Performing efficient bone splitting wedge maneuvers during complex craniofacial reconstructions.
- Assisting in the gradual mobilization of the maxilla during Le Fort I procedures.
