Care and Sterilization Guidelines

To maintain the precision and longevity of the Freer Septum Chisel, it is essential to follow a strict maintenance protocol. Begin by regularly inspecting the 4mm cutting edge for any signs of nicks or blunting, as a sharp profile is vital for safe and effective bone management during surgery.

During the cleaning process, use a soft nylon brush and neutral pH enzymatic detergents to manually remove debris from the tip and shaft. Once cleaned, the instrument must be thoroughly dried to prevent oxidation before moving to the sterilization phase. This surgical chisel is fully autoclavable and should be processed at 134°C (273°F) for 3.5 minutes to ensure total surgical safety and maintain clinical performance standards.
