An osteotome is an instrument used for cutting or preparing bone. Osteotomes are similar to a chisel but bevelled on both sides. They are used today in plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery and dental implantation.

Bernhard Heine was a German physician, bone specialist and the inventor of the osteotome, a medical tool for cutting bones.
