Bone Drills,Reamers

This bone drill reamer is a 15 cm hand reamer for enlarging and shaping holes in bone. It works by hand, with direct control.

What a reamer does

A drill makes a hole, but a reamer widens and smooths it. Therefore holes reach the right size with clean walls. Besides, that helps grafts and implants fit.

Hand use

Turning by hand gives fine control over depth and size. Meanwhile, heat stays low. Additionally, small bones benefit from that care.

Who uses a bone drill reamer

Orthopedic surgeons enlarge tunnels and canals with it. Also, hand and foot surgeons shape small holes. Furthermore, it suits graft procedures.

Technique

Insert the reamer into the pilot hole and turn steadily. Then withdraw often to clear bone. Check the size as you go.

Size

At 15 cm, the reamer suits small and medium bones. Consequently, it fits most small sets. Larger work may need a longer reamer.

Before reaming

Drill a pilot hole first so the reamer follows a set path. Then ream in stages to the final size. Moreover, irrigate to keep the bone cool.
