The Bone Impactor 6 1/4″ (9 x 18mm) is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled handling, positioning, and manual impaction of bone. Its compact overall length and defined working head make it suitable for surgical applications where direct instrument control and focused bone contact are important.
With an overall length of 6 1/4 inches, this bone impactor provides a compact working profile that supports maneuverability within the operative field. The shorter configuration allows the trained surgical professional to maintain close control while positioning the instrument against the intended bone surface. This can be particularly useful when precise manual manipulation is required.
The instrument features a 9 x 18mm working head, offering a defined contact area for controlled interaction with bone. The dimensions provide a practical balance between focused contact and surface coverage, allowing the impactor to be selected according to the requirements of the surgical technique. The specific application should always be determined by the surgeon and the operative procedure being performed.
This bone impactor can be incorporated into orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive, and related surgical instrument sets. It may be used where controlled bone positioning or impaction is required as part of an established surgical technique. Its manual design provides direct tactile control, helping the user apply force according to the specific requirements of the procedure.
The 9 x 18mm head configuration can also complement bone impactors with smaller or larger working surfaces in a comprehensive orthopedic instrument tray. Selecting the appropriate impactor size allows the surgical team to match the working surface to the intended area of bone contact and the requirements of the procedure.
After use, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned to remove blood, tissue, bone debris, and other contaminants. Particular attention should be given to the working head and surrounding surfaces to ensure that no residue remains before further processing. Proper cleaning is essential for effective inspection and sterilization of reusable surgical instrumentation.
Before sterilization and reuse, the bone impactor should be carefully inspected for damage, deformation, corrosion, or changes to the working surface. Instruments showing signs of damage should be evaluated according to the healthcare facility’s instrument-processing procedures. Cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization should be performed using validated protocols appropriate for reusable surgical instruments.
The Bone Impactor 6 1/4″ (9 x 18mm) offers a practical compact configuration for professional orthopedic instrumentation. Its 6 1/4-inch length and 9 x 18mm working head provide controlled manual handling and a defined contact surface for bone manipulation and impaction during appropriate surgical procedures.
