McIndoe Chisel, 16cm — Overview

The McIndoe Chisel (S5-117-00 family) is a 16cm bone chisel available in 8.0mm, 10mm, 12.0mm, and 15mm widths, associated with Sir Archibald McIndoe, one of the most influential figures in the history of reconstructive and plastic surgery, particularly known for pioneering burns and facial reconstruction techniques.

Four Widths for Broader Bone Work

Spanning 8mm to 15mm, this range sits toward the wider end of the chisel widths available in this catalog, suited to substantial bone-cutting and contouring tasks in maxillofacial and craniofacial reconstructive surgery where broader cuts are needed compared with the finer rhinoplasty-oriented chisels elsewhere in this range.

Clinical Use

This chisel is used in maxillofacial and craniofacial reconstructive surgery for substantial bone-cutting and contouring work, reflecting the McIndoe technique lineage in reconstructive surgical practice.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a hardened, precisely ground cutting edge at each width.

Sterilization and Care

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