Mallet with Exchangeable Plastic Inserts - 100 g | Helmut Zepf No. 41.501.01AS
This lightweight mallet with exchangeable plastic inserts weighs 100 g in total. The plastic striking faces deliver controlled, damped taps — for seating orthodontic bands and appliances, driving osteotomes gently or other procedures where a metal mallet would be too hard.
Key Features

- Striking faces: Exchangeable plastic inserts
- Article Number: 41.501.01AS
Controlled, Gentle Force
Plastic faces absorb part of the impact and do not mark instruments or appliances. The low total weight gives fine control over the force of each tap and reduces patient discomfort.
Exchangeable Inserts
Worn plastic inserts can be replaced, so the mallet body lasts for years. For bone splitting with heavier force see the Dr. Vollmer surgical mallet (41.501.01).
