Abstract
A surgical osteotome for being reciprocatively driven to cut anatomical tissue includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end presenting a cutting element. The cutting element comprises an upper part and a lower part, with the lower part having inwardly angled lateral surfaces merging at a cutting edge. The upper part forms a blunt tip disposed distally of the cutting edge. A handpiece adapter assembly includes the osteotome removably coupled to a handpiece adapter. The handpiece adapter includes a motion converting mechanism for converting rotary motion of a powered surgical handpiece into reciprocating motion of the osteotome. A powered surgical handpiece assembly includes the osteotome, the handpiece adapter and a powered surgical handpiece having a rotatable drive shaft.
