Alexander Chisel 7″ | Stainless Steel Bone Chisel | SAG Surgical

Description

The Alexander chisel is a specialized surgical instrument designed for cutting, scraping, and reshaping bone during orthopedic, neurological, and otologic procedures . The SAG Surgical Alexander chisel features a single-beveled, straight blade with a long shaft and a blunt, flat hammering end, engineered for precise bone removal and cortical bone exposure in surgical applications.

The Alexander chisel is a hand-held, single-blade surgical instrument, bevelled on one side, designed to cut and shape bone during orthopaedic surgery . It is used with a surgical mallet or hammer to manually impart force to the proximal end, while the distal cutting edge is sharp and flat for precise bone work . Unlike the Alexander gouge which features a scoop-style rounded edge , the Alexander chisel has a flat cutting edge designed for cutting, scraping, and reshaping bone surfaces .

The Alexander chisel features a long shaft with no designed handle area, increasing its versatility as it can be gripped in any way that makes the surgical maneuver most effective . The instrument is available in blade widths from 4mm to 14mm in 2mm increments, making it well suited for small and large surgical tasks . A standard length of 7 inches (18cm) provides optimal reach and control .

Alexander chisels are used across multiple medical specialties including orthopedics, neurosurgery, spine surgery, ENT/otology (mastoid surgery), and trauma surgery . The 4mm and 6mm variants provide precise cutting in narrow spaces , while the 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm sizes lift wider bone segments per stroke, improving efficiency in mastoidectomy and cortical bone exposure .

Alexander chisels are manufactured to the highest standards using premium stainless steel . This ensures that every Alexander chisel instrument maintains its cutting effectiveness and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. This Alexander chisel is fully reusable and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization .

SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium Alexander chisels that meet the demanding requirements of modern orthopedic and surgical practice. Every Alexander chisel undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
