Designed by Mr Naren Garneti MSc (Tr) MRCS MCh (Orth) FRCS (Tr & Orth)
Designed to help extract a well-fixed cementless porous acetabular component. Helps to tap the acetabular component in a clockwise/anti-clockwise direction and finally in a retrograde direction to help with implant removal. Can be used without extracting the liner. Helps to preserve bone stock.
IN KNEE SURGERY:
Designed for use in primary and revision knee surgery.
During revision knee surgery, can be used to help disrupt the bone-implant, cement-bone and cement-implant interfaces. The osteotome can also be used to help extract the tibial and femoral components.
During primary knee surgery, can be used to help remove cement from the periphery of a tibial base plate and femoral component.
