Orthopedic Flexible Reamer Instruments Set for Intramedullary Nails

Flexible Reamer Instruments Set
Orthopedic Instruments
for Intramedullary Nails
To Facilitate the Insertion of IM Nails
Intended Use
The Monobloc or Modular Intramedullary Flexible Reamers are intended to ream an intramedullary bone canal in preparation for insertion of implants (e.g. intramedullary nails or stems).
Modular Intramedullary Flexible Reaming System
The thin flexible shaft and deeply fluted reamer heads are designed to help reduce intramedullary pressure and increase flow of bone chips and marrow during reaming.
Single shaft to drive all reamer heads
Reamer heads are coupled to the shaft without
hand contact with the reamer head
Ball of 2.5 mm reaming rod will fit through the
cannulation of all DePuy Synthes nail connecting screws
5.0 mm Flexible Shaft
Available in 470 mm and 620 mm* lengths
5.0 mm shaft is made of Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy
with superelastic properties
Single shaft for all reamer sizes
Can be driven forward or reverse
Couples with reduction drive
Cannulated
2.5 mm Reaming Rod with ball tip
Available sterile in 650 mm,* 950 mm,* 1150 mm,* and 950 mm and 1150 mm with an extension*
Secures connection between the reamer head and the
flexible shaft

Precaution: Never ream without using a reaming rod, as it secures the connection between the reamer head and the flexible shaft.
Medullary Reamer Heads
Sizes from 8.5 mm to 19.0 mm, in 0.5 mm increments
The 8.5 mm reamer head is front-cutting, all others are
side-cutting
The 8.5 mm reamer head should only be used in a
medullary canal with an isthmus 8.0 mm or larger. If necessary, use the hand reamers or Monobloc Flexible Reamers to open the canal to 8.0 mm first
To reduce the likelihood of the reamer head jamming intraoperatively, do not skip reamer head sizes
Notes:
Inspect the reamer heads for damages, as blunt reamer heads can increase intramedullary pressure and temperature significantly.2–3
For technical reasons (cutting geometry), the reamer heads cannot be resharpened. Damaged reamer heads have to be replaced.
Precaution: Never ream without using a reaming rod, as it secures the connection between the reamer head and the flexible shaft.
