Steinhäuser Orbital Osteotome 5 and 8 mm, 22.5 cm - 9˝
The Steinhäuser orbital osteotome is a long, slim craniofacial osteotome for work on the orbital rim and floor, supplied with a 5 mm or 8 mm curved blade on a 22.5 cm shaft. The gentle curve follows the orbital contour so the cut stays on bone while the globe and periorbita are retracted clear, and the broad footplate handle takes mallet force without rocking. Pick your blade width from the dropdown. Bulk discounts apply on multi-piece orders.
Why Surgeons Choose It
- Curved blade follows the orbital rim and floor rather than cutting across it
- 5 mm for confined rim work, 8 mm where a wider cut is wanted
- 22.5 cm reach clears retractors and the surgeon’s own hand
- Flat footplate handle keeps the mallet strike square and on axis
- Slim shaft leaves the operative field visible during the cut

Built for Repeated Use
Forged and ground from AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel, hardened so the thin curved blade keeps its edge and does not deflect under the mallet. The satin finish cuts glare under operating lights and resists staining, and the one-piece body has no joint to loosen or trap debris. Full autoclave cycles at 134 °C cause no distortion or pitting.
Direct From the Manufacturer
We manufacture this instrument in our own Sialkot workshop and sell straight to surgeons, clinics, hospitals and distributors, so there is no importer margin in the price. Every piece is inspected and edge-checked before dispatch and carries a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Ask for bulk pricing on multi-piece and full-set orders, and for OEM laser marking on volume quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which blade width should I choose?
5 mm for confined orbital rim and floor work where access is tight; 8 mm where a wider, faster cut is acceptable. Many surgeons keep both and switch during the case.
Why is the blade curved?
The curve follows the contour of the orbital rim and floor, so the cutting edge stays in contact with bone instead of lifting off as the osteotome advances.
Is 22.5 cm not long for orbital work?
The length is deliberate. It puts the surgeon’s hand and the mallet well clear of the retractors and the globe, which matters more than compactness in this approach.
Can the edge be resharpened?
Yes, by a competent instrument workshop. The hardened steel regrinds well; keeping the original bevel angle and curve matters more than absolute sharpness.
What steel is used?
AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel, hardened and ground. It holds an edge on thin sections and tolerates repeated autoclaving without pitting.
Is it supplied sterile?
No. It ships clean and non-sterile, ready for your own cleaning and autoclave cycle at 134 °C before first use.
