Bergman mallet 9 1/2" 17.0 oz. head weight 45.0mm diameter, aluminum handle

Balanced Impact for General Surgical Instrument Handling

The Bergman mallet is a general surgery instrument designed to deliver controlled impact when a surgical tool or component requires firm, deliberate striking. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides useful reach while keeping the mallet manageable during hand-guided work. A 17.0 oz. Head with a 45.0mm diameter supplies a substantial striking surface for compatible procedural tasks, and the aluminum handle supports a lightweight metal construction. This configuration helps professionals maintain a consistent grip and direct impact where needed without relying on improvised tools. Its straightforward design suits instrument-focused workflows that call for repeatable handling and controlled force.

Use Cases

• Deliver controlled blows to compatible surgical instruments during general surgery workflows.
• Use the 45.0mm striking head for deliberate contact when a broad impact surface is appropriate.
• Apply the 9 1/2-inch length to support reach during instrument handling while maintaining direct control.
• Use in procedure setup or operative tasks requiring a dedicated mallet rather than an improvised striking tool.
