The 8 1/2″ Impactor 6.5 x 16mm Angled is an orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled bone handling, positioning, and manual impaction. With an overall length of 8 1/2 inches and a 6.5 x 16mm working configuration, it provides a practical combination of reach and focused contact for professional surgical applications.
The angled configuration gives the instrument a specialized working profile compared with a straight impactor. This design can assist with positioning the working end at an appropriate angle when access or working orientation is an important consideration. The defined 6.5 x 16mm dimensions provide a specific contact area, allowing the instrument to be selected according to the requirements of the surgical technique and anatomy.
This impactor may be incorporated into orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive, and related surgical instrument sets where controlled bone manipulation, positioning, or impaction is required. The instrument is manually operated, allowing the surgical professional to maintain direct control over placement and applied force during use.
The 8 1/2-inch length offers useful working reach while maintaining a manageable profile within the operative field. Its 6.5 x 16mm working end provides a defined contact surface for controlled application. The angled design can provide an alternative approach when a straight working configuration is not preferred for the intended surgical application.
Maintaining a selection of impactors with different lengths, working dimensions, and configurations allows surgical teams to choose instruments appropriate to specific procedural requirements. The 8 1/2″ Impactor 6.5 x 16mm Angled provides one such specialized configuration for professional orthopedic instrumentation.
As a reusable surgical instrument, proper cleaning and inspection are important following use. The working end, angled section, shaft, and other accessible surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing procedures. Blood, tissue, and other surgical residues should be removed before inspection and sterilization.
Before reuse, the impactor should be inspected for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, excessive wear, or other defects that could affect its intended function. Particular attention should be given to the working end and angled section to ensure they remain in suitable condition.
Sterilization should be performed using a validated method compatible with the instrument and according to applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare facility protocols. Proper cleaning, inspection, sterilization, handling, and storage help maintain the instrument’s working condition over repeated use.
The 8 1/2″ Impactor 6.5 x 16mm Angled is a practical addition to orthopedic surgical instrument collections requiring a defined working size, angled configuration, and extended manual reach. It supports controlled bone manipulation and impaction in professional surgical environments.
