Bone Awls

Kuntscher instruments are specially designed to help create holes and enlarge holes in bones, making them suited for various orthopedic procedures. These tools are commonly used to create minor fractures in the bone to seep out bone marrow or blood. They feature a sharp end that can pass through firm tissue layers and a curvature handle that offers easier handling during surgery.

Lenke-style bone awl tools are ideal for orthopedic procedures involving the spine or joints, where screws and pins or other implants need to be inserted. The sharp tip pierces small holes in the bone and creates the necessary channel with precision and minimal damage. The diamond shaped tip on some of the Lenke-style bone awls feature a sharper, more precise instrument.  The smooth insertion reduces tissue stress and bone splintering or fractures. These instruments also feature a silicone teardrop handle for a comfortable and secure grip for surgeons.

A shoulder-penetrating bone awl is a surgical instrument well-suited for surgeries that involve manipulating the bone at the shoulder joint. It is particularly useful for clearing and expanding the tunnels in the glenohumeral joint during shoulder surgeries. The bone awl tool is designed with a curved end and a round, smooth handle that makes it easy and comfortable to maneuver.

The shoulder percussion is a versatile surgical instrument that offers excellent precision and control. This awl is used in surgery to create and expand holes in the bone or to probe them to assess their integrity. It is designed with a hook-like curved end that makes it easier to access the round bone areas in the shoulder.

The tapered bone awl surgical instrument is exceptionally well-suited for various orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. Surgeons use it to create small holes in the bone or paths for insertions. The pilot holes are primarily made in vertebrae during spinal surgeries. This instrument is also valuable for bone grafting as it probes the bone to assess its condition. Our tapered bone awls are available in straight and angled designs and feature a tapered handle that offers excellent grip for increased accuracy.
