Gelbke Freer Cement Trimmer/Nerve Hook with TiN Coating
Martin K. Gelbke, MD
Designed to facilitate cement removal during total and partial knee replacement
• Consists of a freer elevator on one end and a nerve hook on the other
• Nerve hook accesses “tough to reach” corners of the knee
• Particularly useful for use with an ultra-congruent polyethylene insert, where trial liners are typically not used, once the final components have been placed
• Ultra hard titanium nitride coating helps to extend life by increasing surface hardness, prolonging sharpness, and resisting chemicals and corrosion
