Plastic-Faced Medicon Surgical Mallet, 18.5cm

Medicon Mallet, 18.5cm, Plastic Facings

Metal-on-metal striking has a distinct sound and feel, and not every surgeon prefers it. This Medicon Mallet swaps in plastic facing surfaces on its striking heads, giving a quieter operating room and slightly different tactile feedback during osteotomy—a genuine alternative, not an upgrade or downgrade from a standard metal-faced mallet.

Why Some Surgeons Choose Plastic Facings

The plastic surface dampens the sharp metallic sound a metal mallet produces, and some surgeons find it offers subtly different feedback that helps them fine-tune striking force during delicate bone work — a preference difference more than a performance one. This instrument has a durable metal core and facings that can be replaced over its service life, giving structural rhinoplasty and reconstructive practices a real second option to keep alongside a standard metal-faced mallet, so individual surgeons can choose the feel they prefer during osteotomy.
