- A precision surgical instrument primarily used in orthopedic, bone grafting, and dental procedures
Uses
- Bone Grafting:
- Used to pack and shape bone graft material into a surgical site or void
- Orthopedic Procedures:
- Assists in the reduction and compaction of cancellous bone during fracture repairs or joint reconstructions
- Dental/Oral Surgery:
- Employed in dental bone grafting and ridge augmentation procedures to ensure proper placement of grafting materials
Features
- Serrated Tip:
- Features a 2mm diameter tip with fine serrations to provide a secure, non-slip grip on bone graft material
- Length:
- The instrument has an overall length of 6-1/4 inches (15.9cm), offering a balance of reach and control
- Premium Material:
- Crafted from high-quality German stainless steel, providing superior strength and durability
- Finish:
- Typically includes a non-glare satin finish to reduce reflections under bright operating room lights
- Sterilization:
- An "OR-grade" reusable instrument that is fully autoclavable and resistant to corrosion
Benefits
- Precise Compaction:
- The 2mm serrated tip allows for highly controlled packing of graft material, which is critical for successful bone integration
- Reduced Slippage:
- The serrated design ensures that the tamp stays in contact with the material or bone surface, increasing procedural accuracy
- Exceptional Longevity:
- The use of surgical-grade stainless steel and a passivation process protects the tool against staining and rust through repeated sterilization cycles
- Superior "Feel":
- Expertly balanced and weighted to provide the tactile feedback required for delicate bone-related tasks
