About the Lambotte Osteotome
Catalogues list the Lambotte osteotome in an unusually large number of variants. It is a one-piece orthopaedic osteotome with a sharp, double-bevelled blade, tapped with a mallet to cut or shape bone.
Manufacturers offer the pattern as a large family. Stille lists straight and curved Lambotte osteotomes and a delicate mini series, while a Swiss catalogue adds angled, slim, long-blade, parallel and graduated forms as well as one-side-ground "positive cut" versions.
The mini Lambotte instruments are short and delicate, whereas the full-size versions are longer and sturdier. Widths, curvature and handle style differ by maker and series.
