The 6 1/4″ Bone Impactor 11 x 18mm is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled handling, positioning, and impaction of bone during surgical procedures. Its compact 6 1/4-inch overall length provides close working control, making it suitable for situations where precise manual manipulation is important.
The instrument features an 11 x 18mm working head that provides a relatively broad contact surface for controlled interaction with bone. This head dimension can help distribute applied force across the intended working area rather than concentrating contact on a very small point. The configuration is useful when controlled bone manipulation or impaction is required as part of an orthopedic surgical technique.
With its 6 1/4-inch length, this bone impactor offers a practical balance between reach and handling. The shorter overall profile can provide good maneuverability in the operative field while allowing the surgeon or trained surgical professional to maintain direct control of the instrument. The working end is designed for manual application of force according to the requirements of the procedure.
This bone impactor can be included in orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive, and general surgical instrument sets where controlled bone handling is required. Its applications depend on the specific surgical technique and the preference of the trained medical professional. The 11 x 18mm head size makes it a useful option when a broader working surface is preferred for the intended application.
The instrument should be handled according to established surgical instrument protocols. After use, it should be thoroughly cleaned to remove blood, tissue, bone debris, and other contaminants from the working surface and surrounding areas. Proper cleaning is particularly important around the impactor head, where residue may interfere with inspection or subsequent sterilization.
Before sterilization, the instrument should be inspected for visible damage, deformation, corrosion, or other conditions that could affect its performance. Processing should follow the healthcare facility’s validated cleaning, disinfection, packaging, and sterilization procedures and the applicable instructions for the instrument.
The 6 1/4″ Bone Impactor 11 x 18mm is a practical addition to orthopedic surgical instrumentation where controlled manual bone manipulation and impaction are required. Its compact length and 11 x 18mm working head provide a straightforward configuration for professional surgical use.
