Aesculap FL128 Orthopedic 12mm Flat Chisel 5-1/2"

Aesculap Orthopedic Flat Bone Chisel | Model FL128 | Straight Beveled Single Ended Blade Configuration | 12 mm Wide Active Cutting Tip | 5.5 Inch Total Length (14 cm) | Reusable Capital Surgical Instrument | Used Hospital Surgery Asset (1/EA)

The Aesculap FL128 is a professional grade, hospital level bone sculpting tool expertly engineered to perform precision linear osteotomies, bony shelf contouring, and localized exostosis resections. Part of the globally recognized Aesculap Orthopedic and Traumatology Instrumentation Suite, this single ended flat chisel features a straight 5.5 inch solid metal chassis ($14\text{ cm}$ total working footprint) terminated in a 12 mm wide, ultra sharp beveled edge. Unlike dual beveled osteotomes designed to split bone down a central vector, the single side bevel of the FL128 flat chisel allows the surgeon to shave, shave down, or square off dense cortical margins flush against an anatomical plane with absolute linear tracking control. Forged from high tensile, premium German surgical stainless steel, this impact resistant instrument features an integrated solid metal handle grip built to safely absorb repeat mallet strikes without fracturing, providing a rugged, long term capital asset fully optimized to withstand automated washer debridement and high volume, dynamic steam autoclave reprocessing cycles.
