Miller-Colburn bone file 7" #3 double-ended straight and curved up 5.0mm and 7.0mm downcutting serrated ends hexagonal handle

Two Specialized Filing Ends for Controlled Bone Work

The Miller-Colburn bone file is a 7-inch, double-ended instrument intended for filing and refining bone surfaces during surgical instrument use. Its straight and curved-up working ends provide two profiles in one tool, helping users select the end that best matches the working area and access requirements. The 5.0 mm and 7.0 mm downcutting serrated ends support deliberate material removal, while the hexagonal handle provides a defined grip for controlled handling. This configuration helps streamline instrument selection while accommodating differing approach angles and working spaces.

Use Cases

• Use the straight end for filing bone surfaces where a direct working profile is appropriate.
• Select the curved-up end when the working area benefits from an upward-curved file profile.
• Choose between the 5.0 mm and 7.0 mm downcutting serrated ends to match the available working space.
• Use the double-ended configuration to move between two filing profiles without changing instruments.
• Rely on the hexagonal handle for a defined hand position during controlled instrument handling.
