Surgical Mallet Mallets – 11-177-19

Not every strike in orthopedic surgery should transmit the same amount of shock back through the surgeon’s hand, and not every impact surface should be steel on steel. The 11-177-19 mallet addresses both concerns with a solid steel head fitted with plastic faces, sized at 19cm (7½ inches) and weighing 250g, a build that balances driving force with a degree of impact control that an all metal head cannot offer.
The plastic faces matter more than they might seem to at first glance. Striking a chisel, osteotome, or impactor directly with bare steel tends to mushroom softer instrument ends over time and transmits sharper, more jarring shock back through the mallet handle with each blow. A plastic face absorbs some of that shock while still delivering enough force to advance the instrument through cortical bone, which reduces hand fatigue across a long case and protects the working ends of the tools being struck.
At 250g, this mallet sits in a weight class suited to general orthopedic and trauma work, controlled enough for precise osteotomy work but substantial enough to drive chisels and gouges without excessive repetition. It pairs naturally with the wider range of bone surgery instruments used in bone shaping and preparation, from chisels to bone rongeurs.
Built in solid steel construction with autoclave compatible plastic facing, it holds up to the sterilization demands of a busy operating schedule. Complete your operating room inventory today.
