Enduro-Steel Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome for Controlled Bone ExpansionThe Obwegeser Wedge Osteotome is a specialized component of the reconstructive surgical tray, specifically engineered for the mechanical expansion of osteotomy sites. Functioning as a high-performance mandibular expander, this instrument features a thick, triangular wedge profile that converts downward mallet force into lateral expansion pressure. Adas Instruments ensures that each bone splitting wedge is polished to a mirror-smooth finish on the lateral faces to minimize friction as it advances between bone segments. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their predictable force transmission and structural resilience.Why Maxillofacial Specialists Choose Our Obwegeser Wedge OsteotomeGraduated Wedge Geometry: Features a specialized tapering thickness to act as a versatile mandibular expander, allowing for the gradual and controlled widening of the sagittal split.Apex-Stature Stability: Specifically designed with a reinforced, broad handle to function as a reliable bone splitting wedge, providing the surgeon with superior control during high-impact maneuvers.Vantage-Point Force: The heavy-duty construction ensures that the wedge does not bend or torque when used to pry dense cortical bone.Zenith-Prime Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel to prevent chipping and ensure a long-term operative lifespan.Primary Surgical ApplicationsWidening the sagittal split in the mandibular ramus to allow for repositioning.utilizing the mandibular expander function to create space for interpositional bone grafts.Performing efficient bone splitting wedge maneuvers during complex craniofacial reconstructions.Assisting in the gradual mobilization of the maxilla during Le Fort I procedures.Technical Specifications TableInstrument TypeObwegeser Wedge Osteotome / Mandibular ExpanderWedge Widths8mm, 11mm, 13mm, and 15mm optionsApplicationOrthognathic / Maxillofacial / Bone GraftingMaterialA-Grade Tempered Surgical Stainless SteelHandle StyleSolid Flat Handle with Impact StrikerTotal LengthStandard 22 cm (8.6″)SterilizationFully AutoclavableFinishSatin / Mirror CombinationQuality StandardsCE Marked, ISO 13485CleaningUltrasonic SafeFor complete jaw reconstruction workflows, this wedge is often used in sequence with thin-blade osteotomes.
