Bone Tamps
Free!
Bone tamps are precision orthopedic instruments used to elevate, compact, and contour bone during trauma, spine, joint reconstruction, and bone grafting procedures. Featuring a sturdy shaft with a textured, non-slip handle and a calibrated working end, they give surgeons controlled impact and tactile feedback. Their durability, balance, and reliability help restore anatomy accurately, reduce complications, and support stable fixation in demanding surgical environments.
Description
Bone tamps are precision orthopedic instruments used to elevate, compact, and contour bone where controlled force is required. Typically manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, they feature a solid shaft with a knurled, non-slip handle for secure grip and a smooth, flat or slightly rounded working end that transmits impact accurately without damaging surrounding tissue. Their simple, robust construction makes them reliable in demanding surgical environments.
Key features and benefits:
-
Strong, one-piece or securely joined stainless-steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
-
Textured handle for confident handling with gloved or wet hands
-
Balanced weight distribution to deliver precise, controlled blows
-
Smooth working tip designed to minimize bone fragmentation and soft-tissue trauma
-
Autoclavable and reusable, supporting strict hygiene and cost-efficiency
Common applications include elevating depressed fractures, reducing articular fragments, compacting bone grafts, preparing implant beds, restoring vertebral endplates, and contouring bony surfaces in trauma, spine, reconstructive, and arthroplasty procedures. They are also widely used in orthopedic teaching hospitals and veterinary surgery.
Compared with improvised tools or general-purpose punches, dedicated bone tamps provide superior control, consistent geometry, and better protection of delicate joint surfaces. Sets are often available in different diameters and lengths, allowing surgeons to match the instrument to specific anatomical regions and techniques.
For hospitals, clinics, and distributors, a high-quality range of bone tamps is essential in orthopedic and trauma instrument inventories. Buyers should select instruments produced from certified medical-grade materials and compatible with standard sterilization protocols to meet institutional and regulatory expectations.
