Description

Perthes Bone Drills, Reamers in Aluminum Handle

The Perthes reamer is a hand bone drill and reamer set in an aluminum handle. It comes at 18 cm and 20 cm.

Aluminum handle

Aluminum keeps the instrument light. Therefore the surgeon can turn it for longer without fatigue. The handle also gives a good grip.

Two lengths

The 18 cm version suits shallower work. Meanwhile, the 20 cm version reaches a little deeper. Additionally, both work the same way.

Who uses the Perthes reamer

Orthopedic surgeons enlarge holes and tunnels by hand. Also, graft procedures use reamers to shape beds. Also, it suits small and medium bones.

A historic name

Georg Perthes was a well-known orthopedic surgeon. Consequently, the Perthes name appears on several instruments. Furthermore, this reamer is one of them.

Technique

Turn steadily and withdraw often to clear bone. Then check the hole size. Avoid forcing in dense bone.

Light and steady

A light instrument reduces wrist strain during repeated reaming. Therefore the aluminum handle suits long cases. Moreover, it stays balanced in the hand.
