Description

The Ball Bone Spike is used during orthopedic and trauma procedures to hold a bone fragment in position while reduction or fixation is being carried out. It can be used when a fragment needs to be moved, aligned, or temporarily held before definitive fixation. The instrument is also suited to reconstructive procedures where controlled handling of bone is required.

The working end has a 9 mm spherical tip rather than a pointed spike. The rounded end provides a broader contact area against the bone and is intended for temporary engagement during manipulation. This gives the surgeon a way to apply pressure to a fragment without using a sharply pointed working end.

The shaft is elongated and measures 26 cm (10¼”) overall. This length provides useful reach when the operative site is deeper and gives the user some leverage while manipulating the bone. The shaft remains narrow enough to position the working end without adding unnecessary bulk around the surgical field.

At the proximal end is an ergonomic wooden handle. The handle gives the surgeon a firm area to grip while applying pressure through the shaft. It can be used to push, hold, or adjust a bone fragment during reduction, depending on the position required. The combination of the long shaft and wooden handle makes the instrument straightforward to control by hand.

It is made from premium surgical-grade stainless steel. The stainless steel working portion is intended for repeated surgical use and routine sterilization. Proper cleaning and maintenance help preserve the instrument’s surface and resistance to corrosion.

With its 9 mm spherical working tip, 26 cm (10¼”) shaft, and wooden handle, the Ball Bone Spike is suited to temporary bone engagement and manipulation during fracture reduction and orthopedic reconstruction. Its rounded working end provides a different option from pointed bone spikes when a broader contact point is preferred.
