Obwegeser Blade Osteotome, 22cm — Overview

The Obwegeser Blade Osteotome (S27-122-00 family) is a 22cm osteotome available across five widths — 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, and 20mm — named for Hugo Obwegeser, widely regarded as one of the founding figures of modern orthognathic surgery, whose techniques for mandibular and maxillary osteotomy remain foundational to the field today.

Five Widths for Orthognathic Surgery

This broad width range, from a fine 8mm up to a substantial 20mm, reflects the variety of bone-cutting tasks within orthognathic surgery, from precise, targeted cuts to broader osteotomies addressing larger bone segments — giving surgeons practicing Obwegeser-lineage sagittal split and related techniques a matched instrument for each stage of the procedure.

Clinical Use

This osteotome is used specifically in orthognathic surgery, particularly sagittal split ramus osteotomy and related mandibular and maxillary repositioning procedures referencing the Obwegeser surgical technique.

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.
