Mills designed to grind whole bones or bone parts into fine particles. These mills typically consist of equipment that uses a rotatory mechanism with a size and mechanical characteristics appropriate to grind bones of a variety of different densities. The size of the final particles depends on the pressure exerted on the bone and/or the duration of operation. Bone grinding mills may be manually or electrically powered; they are used to reduce bones (e.g., cortical bones) to small particles that may be used as bone matrix or bone graft. Dedicated bone mills intended for use in dental implant procedures are also available.
