Flexible reamer is a flexible medical device, usually made of stainless steel, titanium or nickel-titanium alloy. Its design features include flexible shaft and replaceable blade, which is suitable for handling the needs of medullary cavity reaming of complex or curved anatomical structures.
Functions and Advantages
1. High flexibility: The flexible shaft design enables it to conform to the natural curve of the bone and reduce the risk of injury.
2. Precise operation: It is suitable for medullary cavity reaming of various sizes, and the diversity of blades meets different surgical needs.
3. Repeatability: It is particularly suitable for operation scenarios that require high precision, such as knee surgery.
Application Scenarios
Flexible reamer is widely used in the following orthopedic surgeries:
– Intramedullary nail implantation: The medullary cavity is prepared by the reamer to provide a stable implantation path for the intramedullary nail.
– Joint replacement: Create a precise femoral channel in knee replacement to reduce surgical complications.
Flexible reamer has become an indispensable tool in modern orthopedic surgery with its high efficiency, flexibility and precision. With the development of medical technology, its design and application scope will be further optimized, improving surgical results and patient prognosis.
