Bone Pluggers

Description

Bone Pluggers

Grafting is a layering job, and each layer has to be pushed home before the next one goes in. This bone plugger handles that step. It is a single stainless steel hand instrument, listed at 3 mm. The supplier catalogue shows it inside an implant surgery set as Bone Pluggers 3mm, and we sell it on its own here.

A 3 mm End for Controlled Pressure

At 3 mm, the working end is small enough for a narrow socket or the margin beside a fixture. So the surgeon can aim force where voids form. However, the small end also means each stroke covers little ground. For a broad, open socket, many teams follow up with a wider condenser.

Plugger or Condenser?

Our range lists bone condensers and this bone plugger as separate catalogue items. The catalogue does not describe a design difference between them beyond their names and sizes. Therefore, compare the photos side by side if you are matching an instrument you already own. Many buyers simply follow the name printed on their existing tray list.

Using It Through a Graft Case

• Hydrate the graft and load a small portion.
• Seat it in the defect with the plugger tip.
• Tamp lightly, then check for voids before adding more.

Over-compaction can crush particles. So light, repeated taps beat one firm push. Then cover the site as your protocol directs.

Quality Checks and Coverage

Each plugger passes a visual and tactile check in the United States before leaving our Georgia shelves. Since it ships non-sterile, clean off any packing debris and steam sterilize it ahead of the first graft. Also, our written terms protect the plugger for three years against manufacturing defects found in normal clinical service.

Its stainless steel meets ASTM F899, the recognized specification for surgical instruments. Add the IBP3/5 mm bone condenser for wider sites, explore the 656 diagnostic, periodontal and restorative range, or check the Intrace USA FAQs.
