Lead-Filled Mallet – 19cm German Stainless Steel Surgical Hammer

Lead Filled Mallet 19cm: Concentrated Impact for Orthopedic Surgery

The Lead Filled Mallet 19cm from Adas Instruments is the professional choice for surgeons requiring a high-mass striking tool for dense bone manipulation. This specialized mallet is made from premium German Stainless Steel with a lead-weighted core, ensuring that every strike delivers a solid, “no-bounce” impact to surgical chisels, gouges, and osteotomes.

Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy

Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each lead-filled mallet undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The internal lead filling is securely sealed within the steel head to prevent any environmental exposure while providing the necessary weight for heavy-duty orthopedic tasks. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the striking faces are perfectly flat to prevent glancing blows and ensure patient safety.

Surgical Applications

• Major Orthopedic Surgery: Primarily used for driving heavy osteotomes through cortical bone in joint replacement or fracture fixation.
• Maxillofacial Reconstruction: Provides the necessary force for splitting or contouring dense facial bones.
• Bone Grafting: Essential for harvesting large bone blocks where standard lightweight mallets are insufficient.

Care and Maintenance Section

To maintain the structural integrity of the lead-filled head, the instrument should be inspected regularly for any surface cracks or dents. It is fully autoclavable; however, it is recommended to avoid rapid cooling cycles to preserve the bond between the internal lead and the external steel casing. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.

People Also Ask

What is the advantage of a lead-filled mallet over a solid steel one?
A lead-filled mallet provides a “dead blow,” meaning it has more mass for its size and significantly less rebound, allowing for more efficient force transfer to the cutting tool.

Is the lead exposed to the patient or the environment?
No, the lead is entirely encased within a high-grade German Stainless Steel shell, ensuring it never comes into contact with the surgical field or sterilization equipment.

Is the 19cm length standard for orthopedic use?
Yes, the 19cm length provides the necessary leverage for high-impact strikes while remaining easy to maneuver in the sterile field.
