Vickers Hammer Mallet – Hollow Handle Design, 180g, 170mm

Vickers Hammer Mallet – Hollow Handle Design, 180g, 170mm

The Vickers Hammer Mallet is a purpose-built striking instrument for surgical procedures in which an osteotome, chisel, or similar tool requires repeated tapping. Rather than serving as a cutting instrument itself, the mallet provides the impact needed to move and activate the working instrument.

Its Vickers pattern and hollow-handle construction distinguish this model from conventional surgical mallets. The handle provides a dedicated gripping area while the compact 170mm profile allows the instrument to be positioned without taking up excessive space within the operative field.

With an 180g weight, the mallet offers a defined striking mass for procedures involving bone manipulation. It can be incorporated into surgical workflows where osteotomes or chisels are used for bone preparation, ridge modification, or implant-site development.

The 170mm overall length keeps the instrument relatively compact while retaining sufficient handle length for practical use. This makes it suitable for dental and oral surgical instrument setups where maneuverability and straightforward handling are important.

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the Vickers mallet is intended for professional reusable instrumentation. Its construction allows it to be cleaned and sterilized as part of standard surgical instrument processing.
