Abstract
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 plug s, fitting neatly into craniotomy burrholes. The skullbone at the craniotom y area will heal neatly also assuring the best healing possibilities for th e overlying skin. The cosmetic results are excellent as no skin dents or ca vities will be formed over the burrholes.
