Sklar Bergmann Mallet, 45mm, 1lb 1oz
A 9-1/2 inch orthopedic mallet with a 45mm head weighing 1lb 1oz, used to strike osteotomes and other bone cutting instruments in surgery.
The Sklar Bergmann Mallet is a surgical striking tool used to drive osteotomes, gouges, chisels and impactors during orthopedic and trauma procedures where manual bone shaping is required. At 9-1/2 inches with a 45mm head and a weight of 1lb 1oz, it is heavier than the related Hibbs pattern mallet, giving the surgeon more delivered force per strike, useful for denser bone or larger osteotomy cuts where a lighter mallet would require more repeated blows to achieve the same result.
The handle length and head balance are designed for controlled, one handed use even with the added weight, keeping fatigue manageable across a longer procedure. This listing covers two variants of the Bergmann mallet family, allowing surgical teams to select the option that matches their preferred weight and grip.
Mallets of this kind are standard equipment in any orthopedic set that includes hand driven cutting or shaping instruments. As with other Sklar orthopedic tools, it is built for repeated clinical use with standard sterilization between cases.
