14. NextEdge Surgical SKU 11-1339-18, Bone Tamp
Packing graft material or repositioning depressed bone requires an instrument that can deliver
pressure to a relatively defined area without relying on a sharp cutting edge. The NextEdge
Surgical 11-1339-18 Bone Tamp provides a manual impaction tool for controlled compression
and positioning during orthopedic and reconstructive procedures.
Its working face is designed to contact the material or bone being manipulated, allowing the
surgeon to apply pressure progressively. This makes the tamp useful when graft material needs
to be condensed or when a depressed bony surface requires controlled elevation or adjustment.
The instrument provides several practical characteristics:
● Defined impact face: The working end directs applied force toward the selected area
rather than spreading it across a large surface.
● Textured contact surface: The face provides additional purchase against material that
might otherwise shift during impaction.
● Reinforced striking end: The handle accommodates controlled mallet use when
greater impaction force is required.
● Hexagonal body: The shape provides a secure hand grip and helps resist unwanted
rotation during manipulation.
The 11-1339-18 is particularly useful where the surgeon needs to combine tactile assessment
with gradual mechanical pressure. It can support graft preparation, selected fracture
procedures, and reconstructive bone work.
A well-rounded set of bone surgery instruments benefit from having dedicated
instruments for not only cutting but also positioning and compacting bone material.
Add this bone tamp to your reconstructive instrument set.
