A bone file is a surgical instrument used to smooth, shape, and finish bone surfaces during orthopedic, dental, and reconstructive procedures. It features a textured or serrated working surface designed to gently remove small bone fragments and refine bony edges after cutting or reshaping. Made from durable stainless steel, bone files come in a variety of shapes (straight, curved, or double-ended) to access different anatomical areas easily. They are essential for achieving precise bone contouring and ensuring clean, polished surgical sites.
