Hu-Friedy Tapered Concave Tip Osteotomes

Hu-Friedy tapered concave tip osteotomes are interchangeable bone instruments designed for controlled manipulation of bone in oral and maxillofacial surgery. These osteotomes feature a tapered shaft and a concave working tip geometry, supporting precise engagement of bone during incremental advancement. The concave tip profile allows controlled contact with bone while maintaining tactile feedback during instrumentation.

This assortment includes both straight and angulated interchangeable tips. All tips are designed for use with the Hu-Friedy interchangeable osteotome handle OSTMGRIFF.

Compatible Components

Interchangeable Osteotome Handle: OSTMGRIFF

• The handle is required for clinical use and provides a common platform for all interchangeable tips in this series.

Available Tips

• Straight tips are identified by the numeric item code.
•  Angulated tips are identified by the letter “A” at the end of the item number.

OSTMSH27 – 2.7 mm straight tapered concave tip

OSTMSH27A – 2.7 mm angulated tapered concave tip

OSTMSH32 – 3.2 mm straight tapered concave tip

OSTMSH32A – 3.2 mm angulated tapered concave tip

OSTMSH37 – 3.7 mm straight tapered concave tip

OSTMSH37A – 3.7 mm angulated tapered concave tip

OSTMSH42 – 4.2 mm straight tapered concave tip

OSTMSH42A – 4.2 mm angulated tapered concave tip

OSTMSH50 – 5.0 mm straight tapered concave tip

OSTMSH50A – 5.0 mm angulated tapered concave tip

All variants share the same tapered shaft and concave working-end geometry, with differences limited to tip diameter and shaft angulation.

Clinical Application

Tapered concave tip osteotomes are used in oral surgery procedures requiring controlled bone manipulation. The tapered profile supports gradual advancement, while the concave working end facilitates stable engagement with bone during instrumentation. Straight tips are typically selected when direct axial access is available, while angulated tips assist with directional access in anatomically restricted areas.

Final use and technique are determined by the surgeon’s training, procedural plan, and clinical judgment.
