Ergonomic Grip Design
The mallet features an aluminum handle with a right-handed grip. The handle is designed to provide a defined gripping position for controlled use during forward and backward striking motions.
Its enhanced grip configuration is intended to provide stable handling while the striking head is positioned at the surgical site.
Striking Head Configuration
The mallet incorporates large and small striking heads, both with smooth surfaces.
Large Striking Head
The large head has a diameter of:
2" (5.1 cm)
Its larger striking surface provides an alternative contact area when a broader striking surface is required.
Small Striking Head
The small head has a diameter of:
1.5" (3.8 cm)
This provides a smaller striking surface for applications where a more concentrated contact area is appropriate.
Palmar-Side Striking Surface
An additional feature of the Bechtold Enhanced Grip Ortho Mallet is the flat surface on the palmar side.
This flat surface is designed to:
- Slide along a broach
- Assist with impaction-type instrument use
- Provide an additional striking surface
- Support controlled striking from an alternative surface
This gives the mallet more than one functional striking area for orthopedic instrument manipulation.
Forward and Backward Striking
The mallet is ergonomically designed to accommodate both forward and backward strikes. The handle and head arrangement provide a controlled grip while allowing the user to orient the mallet according to the required striking direction.
Construction
The product description specifies a stainless steel head and shaft combined with an aluminum handle.
This construction provides a dedicated striking head and shaft with a lightweight handle material and integrated right-handed grip.
