The 6 1/2″ Bone Compactor 20mm Head is a precision orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation, compression, and positioning of bone or graft material during surgical procedures. Its 20mm head provides a broad working surface, allowing pressure to be distributed across a larger area when compared with smaller bone compactors.
With an overall length of 6 1/2 inches, the instrument offers a practical balance between working reach and manual control. The 20mm head is suitable for applications where broader contact with bone or graft material is required. It can assist with controlled compaction and positioning while allowing the surgeon to apply deliberate manual pressure during the procedure.
This bone compactor can be incorporated into orthopedic trauma, reconstructive, and bone grafting instrument sets where controlled bone handling is required. The larger head profile may be useful when working across a wider area rather than targeting a small, localized point. Its straightforward design allows it to complement other bone tamping and compaction instruments with different working-end sizes.
The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the strength and rigidity required for controlled manual surgical use. The robust construction helps maintain the shape and integrity of the working head during normal handling. A smooth, properly finished surface supports routine cleaning and facilitates effective instrument reprocessing.
The 20mm head provides a stable contact area for controlled compression and manipulation. Its broad profile can help distribute applied pressure more evenly across the working surface, making it useful when a wider area of bone or graft material needs to be compacted or positioned. The 6 1/2-inch length also provides sufficient reach while retaining convenient hand control.
For reusable instruments, proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization are essential for maintaining performance and service life. The Bone Compactor should be processed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocols. Before each use, inspect the working head and shaft for deformation, cracks, corrosion, surface damage, or other signs of wear.
The 6 1/2″ Bone Compactor 20mm Head is a practical addition to orthopedic surgical instrument collections requiring a durable instrument for broad-area bone manipulation, controlled compaction, and graft positioning.

FAQs
What is a 6 1/2″ Bone Compactor used for?
It is used for controlled manipulation, compaction, and positioning of bone or graft material during orthopedic and reconstructive surgical procedures.
What does the 20mm head size indicate?
The 20mm measurement refers to the working head size and indicates a relatively broad contact surface for applying controlled pressure across bone or graft material.
Why use a 20mm Bone Compactor?
A 20mm head provides broader contact than smaller compactors, making it useful when controlled pressure needs to be distributed across a wider working area.
Is this Bone Compactor suitable for bone grafting?
It can be used for controlled positioning and compaction of bone graft material when appropriate for the specific surgical technique.
What material is the Bone Compactor made from?
Bone compactors of this type are typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for strength, rigidity, durability, and corrosion resistance when properly maintained.
Can this Bone Compactor be sterilized?
If supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and applicable facility protocols.
How should the Bone Compactor be maintained?
Clean the instrument promptly after use, inspect the 20mm head and shaft for damage or deformation, and follow validated cleaning and sterilization procedures.
