Note the clean, crisp milling in the working ends and along each slender body. These 160 mm long tampers are crafted from a single piece of 10 mm diameter surgical-grade stainless steel stock. Instruments are identical except for the degree of taper in their distal third, leading to and determining tip diameter. Moderate weight, excellent balance and easy finger roll impart such pen-like qualities to their use that even the tedious task of tamping tends to imbue the indelible signature of each surgeon's own inimitable style.
