Mallets & Cartilage Instruments
Mallets and Cartilage Instruments
Mallets and cartilage instruments are surgical instruments that are used to impact and shape bone and cartilage in plastic surgery. A mallet is paired with crushers, morselizers, and grids to provide control during the procedure. They are heavy tools that help reshape nasal and facial structures with their different heads and grips in a rhinoplasty.
Newmed offers them in German stainless steel for the best results.
Types of Mallets and Cartilage Instruments
A mallet is a heavy surgical tool that is made to apply controlled impact to bone instruments like osteotomes chisels, and gouges. For instance, a rhinoplasty mallet is specific to nasal reconstructive procedures.
There are different types of cartilage graft instruments that are used according to the details of the surgery. Firstly, a cartilage morselizer is used to break the cartilage into tiny pieces for grafting procedures. On top of that, diced cartilage instruments like a cartilage cutting block help in harvesting, cutting, and shaping fine grafts for nasal bridge procedures.
Mallets and Cartilage Instruments Chart
| Instrument | Configuration | Uses |
| Cottle Bone Crusher | Features either a smooth or serrated surface. | For crushing cartilage to produce uniform graft material during rhinoplasty. |

How to Choose Mallets and Cartilage Instruments
The following factors need to be considered before getting mallets and cartilage instruments:
- Align the crusher’s head with the cartilage consistency and the tool of impact.
- Select a cutting block for a stable surface in grafting procedures.
- Choose a smooth or serrated surface for crushers.
- Choose the handle grip and length for comfortable movement.
- Select a reusable and autoclavable construction for reprocessing.
- Choose the required mallet weight for the procedures.
- Choose a German stainless steel build for reprocessing.
- For orders, confirm certifications of the manufacturer.
Pair Mallets and Cartilage instruments with Osteotomes and Chisels
Pair mallets and cartilage instruments with surgical osteotomes and chisels to provide control in bone reshaping surgeries. You can get these instruments in German stainless steel from NewMed to create a reconstructive set.
FAQs
Q1: What is a cartilage crusher used for?
A cartilage crusher is a surgical instrument that is used to compress the harvested cartilage fragments for specific grafting procedures.
Q2: What mallet weight is used for nasal osteotomy for controlled impact?
For a Cottle mallet, use a 300 g mallet; for a plastic or fiber Novotex mallet, use a 240 g mallet.
Q3: Can I get a cartilage crusher in stainless steel?
Yes. You can get cartilage crushers in German stainless steel from NewMed in different configurations and sizes.
Q4: What's different: Crushed vs. diced cartilage in rhinoplasty?
Crushed cartilage is compressed and flattened by a surgical crusher for contouring. Diced cartilage consists of small, uniform cubes that are used to enhance and build up the nasal bridge.
