Summary
A new tool for the packing of bone dust has been developed. The instrument compresses a mixture of bone dust and saline into suitable cylindrical plugs, fitting neatly into craniotomy burrholes. The skullbone at the craniotomy area will heal neatly also assuring the best healing possibilities for the overlying skin. The cosmetic results are excellent as no skin dents or cavities will be formed over the burrholes.
