Reverse bone-resection orthopaedic reamer

Reverse bone-resection orthopaedic reamers are surgical tools designed to remove precise sections of bone during orthopaedic procedures. They create a cylindrical cavity within the bone shaft by cutting as the device is withdrawn, preparing the site for prosthetic implants like ligament replacements. Used primarily in minimally invasive surgeries, these instruments are inserted through the bone and activated to resect material during rotation and retraction.

These devices are typically single-use, metal instruments often supplied with complementary tools such as guides for accurate placement. Regulation and classification vary by jurisdiction, but they generally fall under surgical instrument categories with specific safety and performance requirements. Availability depends on local medical device laws and healthcare provider preferences.
