Michele Trephine

Description

The Michele Trephine is an orthopaedic cutting instrument designed to create a circular opening or remove a cylindrical core of bone. Its hollow tubular working end features a cutting edge that advances into bone through controlled rotational movement.

Salwan Surgicare is a surgical instrument manufacturer in India supplying orthopaedic instruments to hospitals, distributors, procurement companies, healthcare organisations, and OEM partners worldwide.

The instrument may be used for bone biopsy procedures and for gaining access around selected damaged or broken bone screws. Its hollow construction allows the trephine to cut around the target area while preserving the central bone core or surrounding implant component.

A long, rigid shaft supports controlled force transfer during use. Michele Trephines may be available in different internal and external diameters according to the required surgical application.

Michele Trephine Uses

The Michele Trephine is used to obtain cylindrical bone specimens during selected biopsy procedures. The cutting end is positioned against the bone and advanced with controlled rotation to create a defined bone core.

The instrument can also assist with removing selected broken bone screws. In this application, the hollow working end is advanced around the damaged screw to separate the surrounding bone and support extraction. Teleflex describes the Michele Trephine as an instrument designed for bone biopsy that can also facilitate broken bone-screw removal. citeturn523919search3turn523919search4

Different trephine diameters allow the surgeon to select a size suited to the intended bone core or implant component. Published catalogue examples include models with a 3 mm internal and 5 mm external diameter, as well as a 4 mm internal and 6 mm external diameter.

Benefits of the Michele Trephine

The hollow cutting profile supports controlled removal of a defined cylindrical section of bone. This design is useful when a bone-core specimen or circular access path is required.

A precision-formed cutting edge helps the instrument advance through bone with controlled rotational movement. Meanwhile, the rigid shaft provides stability and transfers force effectively to the working end.

Multiple diameter options support different procedural requirements. Clear size identification also helps staff organise and select the appropriate trephine within an orthopaedic instrument set.

Medical-grade stainless steel provides the strength required for bone-cutting applications. Smooth external surfaces support routine cleaning, inspection, and sterilisation.

Material & Quality

The Michele Trephine is manufactured from medical-grade stainless steel selected for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance under appropriate cleaning and sterilisation conditions.

Production focuses on cutting-edge formation, internal and external diameter accuracy, tube concentricity, shaft alignment, structural strength, and surface finishing. Accurate dimensions are important for controlled coring around bone or selected implant components.

Each instrument is inspected for cutting-edge quality, bore dimensions, shaft straightness, surface condition, and overall workmanship before packaging.

Available within our orthopaedic surgical instruments category, the Michele Trephine provides a specialised solution for bone coring, biopsy, and selected implant-removal procedures.
