Reyneke Sagittal Split Separator, 19.5cm, Left — Overview

The Reyneke Sagittal Split Separator, Left (S27-216-00 family) is a 19.5cm instrument available with a large (9x15mm) or small (9x10mm) blade, used to complete and control the separation of the two bone segments during the sagittal split step of ramus osteotomy on the left side of the mandible, referencing the technique of Johan Reyneke, a recognized authority in orthognathic surgery.

Completing the Sagittal Split

After the Obwegeser splitting osteotome has made the initial sagittal cut, a separator instrument is used to gently and controllably complete the separation of the proximal and distal bone segments, distributing force evenly to avoid an uncontrolled or unfavorable bone fracture — a critical safety step given the proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve within the split segment.

Large and Small Blade Options

The 9x15mm large blade suits broader separation force distribution; the 9x10mm small blade offers a more compact option for finer control or smaller anatomy.

Left-Side Configuration

Shaped and angled specifically for the left side of the mandible, typically used alongside the matching right-side version for bilateral sagittal split surgery.

Clinical Use

This separator is used specifically in sagittal split ramus osteotomy for controlled bone segment separation on the left side, referencing the Reyneke surgical technique.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with the blade shaped for controlled, distributed separation force.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable in both blade sizes. Routine inspection for surface damage or deformation is standard practice given the controlled force this instrument applies.
