About the Partsch Chisel
The Partsch chisel is a small bone-cutting hand instrument. The pattern appears in manufacturer catalogues both as a flat-bladed osteotome/chisel and as a Partsch gouge with a curved, concave blade, which matches the flat and concave versions listed for this page.
A chisel is ground on one side only, whereas an osteotome is bevelled on both sides; catalogues use both names for the Partsch pattern, so the grind should be checked when ordering. Like other bone chisels it is driven by light mallet blows.
Partsch instruments are short and come in a range of narrow cutting widths; exact sizes differ between manufacturers.
