A joint prosthesis implantation kit is a set of reusable surgical tools designed to prepare bone for joint replacement surgery. These instruments—such as retractors, drills, saws, and cutting guides—are tailored to specific joints like hips, knees, or shoulders, enabling precise bone shaping and alignment during implantation procedures.
These kits are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with general medical device standards. They are commonly supplied as part of a comprehensive surgical system, though the actual prosthesis itself is not included. Reusability may involve sterilization protocols to ensure safety between procedures.
