Focused force for detailed anatomical access. The Post Mortem Chisel Straight 0.5" (12mm) is a precision-crafted forensic instrument designed for the exacting requirements of bone sectioning and shaping. Featuring a slim, high-tensile blade, this 12mm chisel provides the mechanical advantage necessary for performing detailed osteotomies in restricted anatomical areas, making it a foundational tool for pathologists, forensic technicians, and veterinary researchers.
[Add to Cart – Professional Laboratory Grade]
The Post Mortem Chisel (12mm) is a mechanical necessity in any pathology suite or forensic lab. While larger chisels are used for gross sectioning, the 12mm straight pattern is the preferred choice for tasks requiring a "fine touch," such as accessing the middle ear, investigating small fractures, or collecting specific bone biopsies. The straight profile ensures a direct line of sight and predictable linear cutting, which is critical for accurate pathological documentation.
Built for long-term clinical reliability, this chisel is engineered to withstand the frequent heavy impacts of a surgical mallet. Its solid-forged stainless steel body is resistant to pitting and staining, ensuring a long service life in high-volume environments. Whether used for human forensic investigations, veterinary necropsies, or gross anatomy education, this chisel delivers the professional-grade performance required for meticulous bone manipulation.

Primary Use Cases:
Q: When should I use a 12mm chisel instead of a 1-inch chisel?
A: Use the 12mm chisel for detailed work where you need to apply concentrated force in a small area, such as spinal processes or facial bones. Larger chisels are better for the long, powerful cuts required for the rib cage or femur.
Q: Is this chisel suitable for use with a metal mallet?
A: Yes. The solid-forged stainless steel construction is designed to handle impacts from both rubber and metal surgical mallets.
Q: Can the blade be re-sharpened?
A: Yes. This is a permanent instrument. It can be professionally honed to maintain its precision edge throughout its service life.
Q: What is the best way to clean the instrument?
A: Use a soft brush to remove organic debris immediately after use. Ensure the chisel is dried thoroughly before autoclaving to maintain its high-polished, corrosion-resistant finish.
