Screw-extraction orthopaedic reamers are specialized surgical tools used to remove broken or detached screws from bone implants. Clinically, they help address complications like screw failure or detachment by gripping and extracting the shaft while reshaping the surrounding bone, ensuring safe implant removal without further damage.
These devices are typically single-use, designed for one-time surgical procedures to prevent cross-contamination. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, with supply typically through medical distributors or directly from manufacturers to healthcare providers.
