Product Overview
The Caspar Impactor is a specialized orthopedic instrument characterized by its slender, 5mm diameter shaft and a flat, textured distal face. It is the primary choice for surgeons performing Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) or posterior lumbar fusions, where the bone graft or synthetic spacer must be firmly “seated” and consolidated within the disc space. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, it ensures a “liquid-smooth” transfer of force from the mallet to the graft without deformation.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Force” 5mm Distal Face: The 5mm diameter is meticulously calibrated for cervical and small-joint spaces. The distal face is engineered to be perfectly flat, ensuring that the impaction force is distributed evenly across the surface of the graft to prevent localized shattering.
-
Precision-Milled Anti-Slip Surface: The distal tip features a micro-textured or cross-hatched surface. This creates a “dead-lock” grip on the graft during the strike, preventing the instrument from sliding off the bone or spacer in a wet operative field.
-
Shock-Resistant Structural Integrity: The shaft and striking platform are manufactured as a single, reinforced unit. This ensures that every strike from the mallet is transmitted with 100% efficiency, providing the mechanical authority needed to achieve high-density fusion packing.
-
Ergonomic “Steady-Hand” Grip: Features a textured or knurled handle section that provides the surgeon with maximum tactile feedback. This allows for the “liquid-smooth” positioning of the impactor even in deep, narrow surgical corridors.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to withstand repeated heavy mallet strikes and thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles without mushrooming or losing its 5mm precision.
