OBWEGESER 6 mm – 17.5 cm: a surgical instrument for expert use in precise procedures on periosteal tissue
The OBWEGESER 6 mm – 17.5 cm rasp is an essential instrument in oral, maxillofacial and reconstructive surgery. Designed for the atraumatic detachment of the periosteum or soft tissue adjacent to the bone, this model has been designed to offer an ideal compromise between precision, control and operational safety. Its slender structure ends in a 6 mm wide, non-sharp spatula tip designed to slide between tissue planes without causing damage or incisions.
The straight, slender shape of the rasp allows deep or sensitive anatomical areas to be approached with great precision. It is particularly suitable for surgery on the chin, mandible or maxilla, where precise dissection is essential. This 6 mm version is generally preferred for the most delicate procedures, where a wider blade could compromise visibility or safety.
The grooved handle of the instrument ensures excellent grip, even in wet environments or in the presence of operating fluids. It allows prolonged use without excessive hand fatigue, while ensuring constant tactile feedback between the pressure exerted and the resistance of the tissues. The body of the instrument, made of medical-grade stainless steel, withstands repeated sterilisation and retains its shape and effectiveness over time.
This model can be used alone or in combination with other widths from the OBWEGESER range, depending on the requirements of the procedure. Its design makes it particularly reliable in situations where every movement must be performed with precision and delicacy.
