Flexible Reamer Set (Stryker Fixed Type) | Cannulated Intramedullary Nailing Instruments

Advanced Flexible Reamer Set (Stryker Fixed Type) for Trauma Surgery

At OrthoPro, we are dedicated to providing orthopedic surgeons and medical distributors with high-caliber surgical instruments that combine durability with clinical precision. Our Flexible Reamer Set (Stryker Fixed Type) is a critical component for intramedullary nailing procedures. It is specifically designed to enlarge the medullary canal of long bones, such as the femur and tibia, to accommodate implants of the appropriate diameter.

The “Fixed Type” designation refers to the robust, non-swivel Stryker-style coupling mechanism that ensures a rigid and secure connection to the power handpiece. This design minimizes energy loss during transmission, providing the surgeon with consistent tactile feedback and efficient cutting performance, even in dense cortical bone.

Engineering Excellence and Design Features

The OrthoPro Flexible Reamer Set is manufactured using premium medical-grade materials to withstand the rigors of modern orthopedic trauma surgery. Key features include:

• Stryker Fixed Type Coupling: The proximal end of the shaft features a standard Stryker connection. This “Fixed Type” design offers superior stability compared to swivel-types, ensuring that the reamer shaft remains perfectly aligned with the power tool drive, reducing vibration and wear on the handpiece.
• High-Torque Flexible Shaft: The core of the system is a cannulated flexible shaft. Constructed from a wound stainless steel or Nitinol configuration, it provides the necessary flexibility to navigate the natural curvature of the femoral bow while maintaining high torque transmission to the cutting head.
• Cannulated Design: The entire system—including the shaft and reamer heads—is fully cannulated. This allows for usage over a standard Guide Wire (typically 2.5mm or 3.0mm ball-tip), ensuring the reamer follows the correct anatomical path and preventing false passages.
• Modular Reamer Heads: The set includes a comprehensive range of detachable reamer heads. These heads feature a deep-flute design to maximize bone debris evacuation, reducing intramedullary pressure and lowering the risk of fat embolism syndrome.

Comprehensive Set Configuration

Our Flexible Reamer Set (Stryker Fixed Type) is supplied in a fully autoclavable graphic sterilization case, designed for easy instrument counting and management. The standard configuration includes:

1. Flexible Reamer Shaft

The driving force of the system. The shaft is designed to be easily cleaned and sterilized.

Connection: Stryker Fixed Type (Quick Coupling compatible).

Length: Standard lengths available (e.g., 450mm to 700mm) to suit various anatomical requirements.

2. Interchangeable Reamer Heads

A full progression of sizes allows for gradual canal widening.

Diameter Range: Typically starts from 7.0mm, increasing in 0.5mm increments (7.0mm, 7.5mm, 8.0mm… up to 14.0mm or 15.0mm).

Attachment Mechanism: Secure puzzle-lock or dovetail connection ensures the head stays attached to the shaft during retraction.

3. Essential Accessories

Reduction Drive/T-Handle: For manual manipulation if required.

Cleaning Stylet: To clear the cannulation of biological debris post-surgery.

Tissue Protector: To safeguard soft tissue during the initial entry.

Clinical Applications and Indications

The Flexible Reamer Set is indicated for use in the following procedures:

• Femoral Shaft Fractures: Preparation for antegrade or retrograde femoral nails.
• Tibial Shaft Fractures: Reaming of the tibial canal for intramedullary fixation.
• Non-Union Treatment: Reaming to stimulate osteogenesis and harvest autologous bone graft (using the Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator principle).
• Revision Arthroplasty: Removal of cement plugs or bone overgrowth in the canal.

Why Choose the Fixed Type Coupling?

While swivel couplings offer range of motion, the Stryker Fixed Type coupling is preferred by many surgeons for its direct power transfer. It eliminates the “lag” sometimes felt in swivel joints, providing immediate responsiveness. This is particularly beneficial when reaming through hard callus or sclerotic bone where consistent torque is mandatory.

Quality Assurance and Sterilization

OrthoPro places patient safety at the forefront. Our reamers are made from biocompatible stainless steel that resists corrosion. The instruments are designed for steam sterilization (Autoclave at 134°C). The smooth surface finish of the shaft facilitates easy cleaning and minimizes debris retention.
