The Neurosurgery Surgical Perthes Bone Awl – 8¼″ is a high-quality surgical instrument developed for precise bone perforation and preparation during complex neurosurgical, spinal, and orthopedic procedures. Designed in the classic Perthes pattern, this bone awl enables surgeons to create accurate pilot holes and initiate bone entry with exceptional control and precision.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Perthes Bone Awl provides superior strength, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. The satin-finished surface minimizes glare under operating room lighting and surgical microscopes while allowing for efficient cleaning and repeated sterilization.
With an overall length of 8¼ inches (21 cm), the instrument offers excellent reach and balance for use in deep or confined surgical fields. Its finely sharpened awl tip is engineered to penetrate cortical bone with precision, making it ideal for creating pilot holes prior to screw insertion, bone fixation, or other orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. The rigid shaft provides excellent stability, while the ergonomically designed handle delivers a secure grip and superior tactile feedback for controlled force application.
The Perthes Bone Awl is widely used in spinal instrumentation, cranial procedures, trauma surgery, and reconstructive operations where accurate bone preparation is essential. Fully reusable and autoclavable, it is a dependable addition to professional neurosurgical and orthopedic instrument sets.
