impactor

"Dabei werden die Knochenchips schichtweise in die Defekthöhle eingebracht und impaktiert, entweder mit dem Nachschläger oder durch Rückwärtsfräsen."
(check Google for "Nachschläger" with "Implantat"

"Impaction bone grafting of the acetabulum involves packing of cavitary defects ... and marrow fluid, thus yielding a compacted graft that is more resistant to shear. .... Cancellous bone graft is prepared in fragments 4 to 6 mm in size. .... These bone grafts must be impacted using a hammer and several diameters of impactors. ..."

and several references to 'impactors' relating to joint replacement.
