Boneshark

Bone Shark® Disposable Bone Mill

Improving Bone Grafts, One Patient at a Time!

Lee Medical’s patented Bone Shark® is used in orthopedic procedures where autologous bone is required for an injury or a spinal procedure where new bone growth is needed. The grinding or milling of the autologous graft taken from the patient can be done with reusable capital equipment type products that need to be re-sterilized prior to the next procedure. The Bone Shark® is currently the only truly disposable product on the market today.

The BoneShark® Advantage

Sterile and Safe:

The Bone Shark® is sterilized through an Ethylene Oxide Process and has an enclosed advanced milling mechanism that eliminates exposure to sharp injuries and cross contamination risk to both patients and personnel.

Cost-Effective:

The Bone Shark® is pre-assembled and ready-to-use. There is no assembly, sterilization, or additional costly auxiliary equipment required. The time, effort and cost to disassemble, sterilize and reassemble a non-disposable bone mill may often exceed the cost of using the Bone Shark®.
