The Quinelato Osteotome Wedge 16mm OMiQ® completes the separation of the jaws, both in the downfracture of the jaw and in the mandibular sagittal. Its non-cutting end preserves soft tissue, and its wide, thick tip allows maximum action in the twist type movement technique.
Key Features
Non-Cutting End — the end does not cut, preserving soft tissue, especially the mandibular nerve and the vascular-nervous bundle of the jaw
Wide, Thick Tip — the tip profile allows maximum action in the twist type movement technique
16 mm Working Width — dimensioned to complete the separation of the jaws
Graduated Shaft — the shaft carries measurement markings in centimetres
Moulded Polymer Handle — a faceted grip that transmits force along the shaft to the wedge

Clinical Applications
Maxillary downfracture completing the separation once the osteotomy is made.
Mandibular sagittal split finishing the separation with a twisting movement.
Nerve-conscious separation where the mandibular nerve and the vascular-nervous bundle must be preserved.
Finishing the split near the nerve?
A wedge that does not cut is what that moment calls for.
