Karlin mallet 9 1/2 large 12 oz. head weight 31.8mm diameter

Controlled Impact for General Surgery Workflows

The Karlin mallet is a surgical mallet designed for controlled tapping and striking during general surgery instrument handling. Its 9 1/2-inch length provides a practical working span, while the large 12 oz. Head supports deliberate impact when a mallet is needed as part of an instrument-based task. The 31.8 mm diameter identifies the head size for straightforward selection and handling. This configuration can help teams choose a mallet suited to work requiring measured force and consistent manual control, while its familiar mallet format supports efficient integration into established surgical workflows.
