Description
A bone file is a special surgical instrument used by dentists, surgeons, or veterinarians. It is used after cutting or removing bone during surgery. The purpose of the bone file is to smooth out any rough or sharp edges of the bone.
The instrument looks like a small metal rod with a rough surface, similar to a nail file. The rough part gently scrapes the bone to make it even and smooth. This helps prevent injuries inside the mouth or body and makes the area safer for healing.
Bone files are commonly used in oral surgery, such as after tooth extraction, and also in orthopedic surgery or animal surgeries. By shaping the bone properly, it improves comfort for the patient and supports faster and cleaner healing.
