Flexible Medullary Reamers
Also called Flexible reamers, Intramedullary reamers
A flexible reamer shaft that takes interchangeable cutting heads in graduated sizes. It is cannulated and runs over the reaming rod into the bone canal.
Primary uses
What this instrument is on the table to do.
Optional reaming of the tibial canal for an intramedullary nail. Reaming goes in 0.5 mm steps, starting smaller than the measured canal, with the knee flexed and the fracture held reduced. The nail chosen is 1.0 to 1.5 mm smaller than the last reamer. TN-ADVANCED points to the DePuy Synthes reamer system's own instructions.
Sizes & variants
