ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a surgical bone brush which provides a means to remove soft tissue from harvested autogenous and allografts bone prior to implantation of the bone into the human body. The invention is a surgical instrument with multiple fibers of surgical grade stainless steel or implantable material, wherein the fibers are held in place around a retaining ring, by a cap assembly, and extend outward forming a brush. The bone brush head, provided in a plurality of sizes and shapes, is attached at one end of a shaft, of a length and diameter providing for the insertion of the shaft into surgical grade rotary hand pieces. The bone brush provides a means to remove soft tissue from bone, decorticate, and contour bone. This is achieved when the shaft of the bone brush is inserted into a surgical rotary hand piece and the hand piece is activated thereby causing the brush head to rotate. When the fibers of the bone brush are placed into contact with the soft tissue covering bone, the rotary action of the brush head removes the soft tissue from the bone. Decortication and bone contouring are achieved in the same manner.
