More Information
Summary:A surgical milling cutter includes a shaft for rotary-driven coupling to a drive unit about a rotation axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the shaft. The surgical milling cutter has a milling cutter head arranged distally on the shaft. The milling cutter head has at least two teeth with respective cutting edges for rotary subtractive machining of tissue. The cutting edges are each designed for subtractive machining of tissue both in the distal direction and in the lateral direction. A chip space is formed as a free space between circumferentially adjacent teeth. Each chip space, on the side of the rotation axis facing towards the respective cutting edge, extends from the cutting edge into a region on the side of the rotation axis facing away from the cutting edge.
