Description
The Murphy-Lane Bone Skid is an orthopaedic instrument used to elevate, guide, and manipulate bone during selected surgical procedures. Its broad working ends provide controlled contact with bone while helping the surgeon position structures within the operative area.
Salwan Surgicare is a surgical instrument supplier in India supplying orthopaedic instruments to hospitals, distributors, procurement companies, healthcare organisations, and OEM partners worldwide.
The instrument commonly features a double-ended design with differently sized working ends. This allows the surgeon to select the end best suited to the anatomical area and required degree of manipulation.
A flat central handle provides a stable grip and helps transfer controlled lifting or guiding force to the working end. The rigid construction supports dependable handling during demanding orthopaedic procedures.
Murphy-Lane Bone Skid Uses
The Murphy-Lane Bone Skid is used to assist with the elevation and manipulation of bone during hip and other orthopaedic procedures. It can help guide a bone structure while maintaining controlled contact with the surrounding operative area.
During selected hip procedures, the instrument may support manipulation of the femoral head or proximal femur. Its curved working end can be positioned against the bone to provide leverage during exposure, reduction, or positioning.
The instrument may also help retract nearby tissue while giving the surgeon improved access to the surgical site. Its broad ends provide a supporting surface rather than the narrow contact produced by a pointed instrument.
Murphy-Lane Bone Skids are commonly included in orthopaedic and hip surgery instrument sets. The exact technique depends on the procedure and the surgeon’s selected approach.
Benefits of the Murphy-Lane Bone Skid
The broad working ends provide stable contact with bone during elevation and manipulation. Their curved profile supports controlled positioning while reducing unwanted slipping.
A double-ended configuration provides two working sizes within one instrument. This allows the surgeon to select an appropriate end without changing to another bone skid.
The long, rigid body transfers force efficiently from the handle to the working end. Meanwhile, the flat handle offers a secure grip during lifting, guiding, and positioning movements.
Medical-grade stainless steel provides the strength required for orthopaedic surgery. Smoothly finished surfaces also support routine cleaning, inspection, and sterilisation.

Material & Quality
The Murphy-Lane Bone Skid is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel selected for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance under appropriate handling and reprocessing conditions.
Production focuses on working-end formation, shaft alignment, handle strength, structural integrity, and surface finishing. Smoothly formed ends support controlled contact with bone during manipulation and elevation.
Each instrument is inspected for working-end shape, shaft straightness, handle stability, surface condition, and overall workmanship before packaging.
Available within our broader chisels, gouges and osteotomes category, the Murphy-Lane Bone Skid provides a practical solution for bone manipulation during orthopaedic and hip procedures.
