Roberts Pin Bending Cannula Set
Designed by David Roberts, MD
Designed to help bend the end of a flexible intramedullary pin, which has been cut flush to the bone, for better grasping during pin removal
After exposing the pin end, the cannula helps bend the pin for better access for the removal instrument while maintaining a small incision.
Features:
Beveled edge that allows easy capture of end of pin
Cannula can be used as a trephine for pins with bony overgrowth
Reusable – thick walls withstand repeated uses
Benefits:
Makes removal of intramedullary pins simple, quick and easy
Allows pins to be left flush to bone at insertion and avoid pain from prominent pins
Shortens surgical time for pin removal using existing small incisions
Advantages:
No need to pre-bend or leave pins overly prominent
No need to make incision larger during removal
No need for chisels or osteotomes to remove bone overgrowth
