The 8″ Bone Impactor 11 x 18mm is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled bone handling, positioning, and impaction during surgical procedures. Its defined 11 x 18mm working head provides a broad contact surface for controlled application, making it a practical addition to orthopedic and trauma surgical instrument sets.
With an overall length of 8 inches, this bone impactor offers a useful balance between reach, maneuverability, and direct instrument control. Its compact length allows the instrument to be positioned effectively within the operative field while maintaining a practical working profile for orthopedic applications.
The 11 x 18mm head provides a relatively broad working surface compared with narrower bone impactor designs. This configuration can be useful when a wider area of contact is preferred during appropriate bone manipulation or impaction tasks. The exact application should always be determined by the operating surgeon based on the procedure, surgical technique, and clinical requirements.
The Bone Impactor is intended for use by trained surgical professionals and can be incorporated into orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive, and general surgical instrument trays. Its manual configuration allows direct control during use and supports precise positioning of the working head against the intended surgical area.
A durable surgical instrument construction is intended to withstand routine professional use when appropriate instrument-processing procedures are followed. After each procedure, the impactor should be thoroughly cleaned to remove blood, tissue, and other surgical residue. Particular attention should be given to the working head and surrounding surfaces during cleaning.
Before sterilization, the instrument should be carefully inspected for wear, deformation, surface damage, or other abnormalities that could affect safe use. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method appropriate for the instrument and according to applicable manufacturer recommendations and healthcare-facility protocols.
Proper drying and storage are also important for maintaining the instrument’s condition between procedures. Regular inspection and appropriate maintenance can help support reliable handling and extend the useful service life of the surgical instrument.
For hospitals, orthopedic departments, surgical centers, and professional medical instrument suppliers, the 8″ Bone Impactor 11 x 18mm provides a practical solution for controlled bone manipulation and impaction. Its 8-inch length and 11 x 18mm working head make it a useful addition to orthopedic and trauma surgical instrumentation.
