Epker Osteotome — Overview

The Epker Osteotome (S27-190-00 family) is an extensive maxillofacial osteotome range spanning three widths (4.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm) and three curvatures (straight, slightly curved, strongly curved) at each width — nine total configurations — associated with the orthognathic surgery technique lineage of William Epker, a significant figure in the development of modern jaw surgery.

Nine Configurations

This full matrix of widths and curvatures gives surgeons practicing orthognathic and maxillofacial osteotomy procedures a comprehensive set of options to match the instrument precisely to the specific bone-cutting task, whether a fine, straight cut or a broader cut following a strongly curved bone contour.

Clinical Use

This osteotome range is used in orthognathic surgery, including mandibular and maxillary osteotomies, where the Epker technique lineage is referenced, and in broader maxillofacial bone-cutting procedures requiring a matched width-and-curvature instrument.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a hardened, precisely ground cutting edge consistent across all nine configurations.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable across all configurations. The cutting edge should be inspected before each use for nicks or dulling.

Ordering

The Epker Osteotome is available as S27-190-01/02/03 (4.0mm straight/slightly curved/strongly curved), S27-191-01/02/03 (6.0mm), and S27-192-01/02/03 (8.0mm).
