Bone Awl
5-1/2″ (14.0 cm)
Bone Awl can have a wide array of applications in orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. Generally speaking it is used to create or enlarge holes in bone. Specifically it is ideally used to create pilot holes in vertebrae during spinal surgeries. It can be used in bone grafting procedures where the bone needs to be prodded to assess its condition. This awl features a large teardrop shaped handle that makes it easy to handle manually and maintain a firm grip to increase accuracy.
