Mallet (Plastic,Lead Filled)

Description

Mallet (Plastic,Lead Filled)

The lead-filled plastic mallet combines a soft outer head with a dense core. So each blow feels solid, yet it stays gentle on instrument handles.

Soft outside, dense inside

The plastic shell absorbs the sharp edge of the impact. Meanwhile, the lead core adds weight and reduces bounce. As a result, energy goes into the blade rather than back into the hand.

Size and weight

Its handle runs 25 cm, and the head measures 42 mm across. The total weight is about 250 g. That makes it light for its size and easy to swing.

Who uses a lead-filled plastic mallet

Hand, foot and jaw surgeons reach for it when driving small osteotomes. It also helps when instruments have plastic or composite handles. The quieter strike suits busy theaters.

When to choose it

Choose this mallet when you want control and low noise. However, for very heavy impaction, a heavier steel mallet works better. Many trays hold both.

Noise and comfort

Plastic heads strike with a dull thud instead of a ring. So the theater stays quieter during long chisel work. Also, the low rebound means less strain on the wrist over a full list.
