A surgical tamp is a hand-held instrument used during surgery to manually pack tissue or other materials into a wound or cavity. It features a shaft with a blunt tip at one end and a handle at the other, allowing the surgeon to apply pressure by hand or with a mallet to achieve effective tissue compression.
This category includes reusable devices typically constructed from metal, though some variants may incorporate synthetic materials in the handle. As reusable instruments, they are intended for cleaning, sterilization, and repeated use across multiple procedures in accordance with standard reprocessing protocols.
