Miller-Colburn bone file 7" #1 double-ended straight 5.0mm and 7.0mm downcutting serrated ends hexagonal handle

Two Working Ends for Controlled Bone Filing

The Miller-Colburn bone file is a double-ended instrument designed for filing and smoothing bone surfaces during surgical handling. Its straight profile supports direct positioning, while the 5.0 mm and 7.0 mm downcutting serrated ends provide two working sizes within one instrument. This configuration can help adapt the file to differing working areas and reduce the need to exchange instruments during a task. The hexagonal handle offers a defined gripping surface for controlled manipulation and straightforward orientation. At 7 inches long, the instrument provides useful reach while remaining practical to handle on the sterile field.

Use Cases

• File and smooth bone surfaces using the downcutting serrated working ends.
• Select the 5.0 mm end when a narrower filing surface is appropriate.
• Use the 7.0 mm end when a broader filing surface is preferred.
• Change working size by reversing the double-ended instrument rather than selecting a separate file.
• Use the straight profile and hexagonal handle to support direct positioning and controlled manual handling.

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect both serrated working ends and the handle before and after use for debris, damage, or wear.
• Handle the serrated ends carefully to protect the cutting surfaces and reduce contact damage.
• Store the file in a manner that prevents the working ends from contacting other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
