Product Specifications Product Name U.S. Army Bone Chisel Alternative Names US Army Chisel / Army Pattern Chisel / Orthopedic Bone Chisel Instrument Type Orthopedic Surgical Chisel Pattern U.S. Army Overall Length 18cm / 7" Profile Straight Cutting Edge Sharp Single Bevel Handle Design Solid Ergonomic Striking Handle Finish Anti-Glare Matte Finish Material German-Grade Stainless Steel Use Type Reusable Surgical Instrument Primary Function Bone Cutting, Shaping, Trimming & Contouring Quantity 1 Instrument Sharp Single-Bevel Cutting Edge The single-bevel working edge creates a defined cutting surface for controlled engagement with bone. This blade geometry helps direct cutting force along the intended plane and supports accurate trimming, shaping, and removal of bone where a straight chisel profile is preferred. The sharp working edge should be positioned carefully against the target bone surface and used only according to the surgical technique and intended application. Straight U.S. Army Pattern The straight Army-pattern design provides direct alignment from the striking end through the shaft to the cutting blade. This configuration helps the surgeon maintain awareness of blade orientation and provides predictable force transmission during controlled bone work. The slim shaft also helps maintain visibility around the operative field while allowing the cutting edge to reach the required bone surface. Ergonomic Striking Handle The proximal end of the instrument features a broad ergonomic striking surface designed to provide a stable area for handling and controlled mallet-assisted use when required by the surgical technique. When used with an appropriate surgical mallet, controlled impact can be transmitted through the solid shaft toward the single-bevel cutting edge for precise bone cutting or shaping. Anti-Glare Matte Finish The instrument features a matte surgical finish that helps minimize glare and unwanted reflections from bright operating-room lighting. Reduced surface reflection can support better visibility of the instrument and surrounding surgical field during use. Applications & Surgical Uses The U.S. Army Chisel is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals during orthopedic and bone-related procedures requiring controlled cutting or modification of bone. Controlled bone cutting Bone shaping and contouring Trimming bone surfaces Removal of selected bone portions Preparation of bone surfaces Orthopedic surgical procedures Trauma surgery Reconstructive bone procedures Mallet-assisted bone work where clinically appropriate U.S. Army Chisel vs. Bone Gouge A bone chisel typically features a flat or relatively straight cutting profile intended for controlled cutting, trimming, and shaping of bone. In comparison, a bone gouge usually has a concave working end designed to remove bone in a curved or channel-shaped profile. The straight single-bevel configuration of the U.S. Army Chisel makes it particularly suitable when a defined, directional bone cut is required.
