Three Types of Spinal Endoscopic Osteotomes

1. T-handle Osteotome

• T-shaped handle provides better grip stability and force transmission
• Suitable for bone cutting operations requiring greater force
• Reduces hand fatigue and improves operational safety

• Mainly used for expanding the intervertebral foramen in foraminoplasty
• Removing posterior vertebral osteophytes
• Performing nerve root canal decompression

• Used in the middle and late stages of surgery after establishing the working channel
• Precisely locating osteophyte positions under image guidance
• Removing pathological bone through tapping or rotating movements

2. Straight Handle Osteotome

• Anti-slip textured handle design for precise control
• Slender working end suitable for operation in narrow spaces
• Lightweight with high operational flexibility

• Precisely removing small-scale osteophytes and bone spurs
• Trimming vertebral endplates
• Cleaning bone edges in the surgical area

• Mainly used in the fine operation stage during surgery
• Performing precise cutting under high-definition endoscopic vision
• Cooperating with irrigation systems to maintain clear vision

3. Grooved Osteotome

• Special groove design enhances cutting efficiency
• Facilitates irrigation fluid circulation and reduces thermal injury
• Can guide other instruments to improve operational safety

• Efficiently removing sclerotic bone
• Establishing instrument operation channels
• Assisting precise positioning of other instruments

• Commonly used for treating areas with hard bone during surgery
• Used in combination with other instruments such as radiofrequency knives
• Maintaining clear operation channels when removing large amounts of bone
