The 1 Gardner Bone Chisel is the smallest flat-tip instrument in the Gardner series, providing a 3 mm mono-bevel cutting edge for precise, narrow bone shaving where a wider instrument cannot be positioned accurately. The flat tip concentrates the cutting edge into a defined straight line across the 3 mm blade width, which produces a clean, controlled shaving action on cortical bone surfaces without the curved cutting arc of a spoon or the aggressive engagement of a pyramid tip. This makes the #1 Gardner appropriate for post-extraction bone margin smoothing where a sharp cortical edge needs to be removed from a narrow socket margin, for bone surface preparation in confined sites adjacent to vital structures, and for removal of small cortical projections that would otherwise irritate the soft tissue closure after surgery. Medical-grade stainless steel, autoclavable.

Gardner series overview: The Gardner series provides mono-bevel single-ended instruments with varied tip geometries beyond a simple flat edge. Numbers 1 and 2 carry flat tips for controlled cortical shaving. Number 5 carries a pyramid ridge tip for aggressive engagement of dense bone. Number 6 carries an inverse diamond wedge for interproximal access. Number 9 is a 4 mm flat mono-bevel. The series covers both general bone shaving and specific bone geometry tasks.
