A flexible medullary canal orthopaedic reamer is a surgical instrument used to precisely shape and widen the central bone cavity (medullary canal) during joint replacement or fracture repair. It prepares the canal for implants like intramedullary rods or prosthetic stems by cutting through bone with rotating flutes, ensuring a secure fit for fixation devices.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable stainless steel alloys, and come in various sizes to match different bone diameters. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, often requiring compliance with orthopaedic surgical instrument standards.
