Bone-resection orthopaedic reamers are surgical tools designed to precisely remove sections of bone or excess tissue during joint procedures. They prepare the bone surface to fit prosthetic implants, such as in knee, shoulder, or elbow replacements, or to relieve pressure on affected areas.
These reusable devices are typically made from stainless steel and require sterilization between uses. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, with oversight from bodies like the FDA or EU MDR.
