The 7″ Impactor 4.3 x 10mm Micro Lateral is an orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled bone handling, positioning, and manual impaction. Its 7-inch length provides a practical balance between working reach and direct handling, while the 4.3 x 10mm working end offers a defined contact area for controlled interaction with bone.
The micro lateral configuration is designed for applications where a compact working profile and lateral access are required. Its focused working dimensions allow the instrument to be incorporated into specialized orthopedic instrument sets where different impactor configurations are selected according to surgical technique and anatomical requirements.
This impactor can be used within orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive, and related surgical instrument trays for procedures requiring controlled bone manipulation or positioning. The lateral configuration may support access to areas where a conventional straight working approach is less suitable. Actual application should be determined by the trained surgical professional based on the procedure and patient anatomy.
The 4.3 x 10mm working end provides a defined contact surface for manual application. The instrument’s 7-inch length supports controlled handling within the operative field while allowing the user to maintain direct control over the direction and amount of applied force. This makes it a practical option for surgical teams maintaining instrument sets with multiple impactor sizes and configurations.
The Micro Lateral Impactor is designed for professional surgical environments where reliable instrument handling and consistent working dimensions are important. Its compact profile can help support organized orthopedic trays and specialized surgical instrumentation requirements.
As with other reusable surgical instruments, appropriate cleaning and inspection are essential following each use. The working end, lateral configuration, shaft, and other accessible surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing procedures. Any retained tissue, blood, or surgical debris should be removed before inspection and sterilization.
Before reuse, the instrument should be examined for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, excessive wear, or other conditions that could affect its intended function. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method compatible with the instrument and in accordance with applicable manufacturer instructions and facility protocols.
The 7″ Impactor 4.3 x 10mm Micro Lateral provides a specialized combination of compact working dimensions, lateral configuration, and practical overall length for professional orthopedic instrumentation. It is a useful addition to surgical sets requiring controlled bone manipulation with a focused lateral working profile.
