Orthopaedic inorganic implant inserters and extractors are reusable surgical tools designed to precisely place or remove non-living (inorganic) orthopaedic implants, such as bone nails, screws, or fixation plates. These instruments often feature mechanisms like striking pads, twisting handles, or plunger systems to drive or extract implants during procedures like fracture fixation or joint replacement.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as reusable medical equipment, requiring sterilization between uses, and may be subject to performance standards or clinical validation depending on their intended use and complexity.
