Supplied as a group of five osteotomes in one item rather than as a single blade.

An osteotome is a bone-cutting hand instrument built like a chisel, but ground with a bevel on both faces of its cutting edge instead of one: that double bevel is what separates an osteotome from a chisel of the same blade. The blade is flat and tapers to a thin edge, and is made in a straight form and a curved form so it can follow a curved bone surface. The shank is a solid hexagonal or round steel bar ending in a flattened or capped head built to take repeated mallet blows. A set bundles a graduated run of blade widths (the width stamped on the blade is the article's size, not its overall length) held in a stand or case, usually with a matching mallet.

How it is built

  • blade beveled on both faces (a single bevel makes it a chisel, not an osteotome)
  • flat blade tapering to a thin edge, made in a straight-blade and a curved-blade form
  • solid hexagonal or round steel shank
  • striking end flattened or capped for mallet use
  • set = a graduated run of blade widths in a stand or case; width, not length, is the size marking
  • often supplied with a matching mallet

This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.

Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.

The five grades, side by side, and what each one is for

True of every order

Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.

Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.

Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates

Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.

TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.

One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.

If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.

Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
