ABSTRACT:
A bone wax applicator having a foot plate and a handle, wherein the bone wax is secured to the lower surface of the foot plate and applied by holding the handle. The handle extends from the upper surface of the footplate near the center of the upper surface. A pattern is provided on the lower surface of the foot plate to better hold the bone wax. The lower surface is provided with a raised edge to better hold the wax. The wax itself may have a pattern or embossed or printed surface to provide more wax at the point of application and also to provide greater gripping power. Further, gripping structures are provided on the handle to prevent accidental slippage during use. The bone wax applicator includes radio-opaque material so that it can be readily identified from an x-ray image.
