Smith & Nephew REDAPT - Instruments; Proximal Reamer Color Code Chart

5
Instruments
REDAPT™ instruments are designed to maximize surgical eciency and improve
accuracy and reproducibility of implant position during the procedure. This is
accomplished by reaming and trialing “over the top” of the distal reamers. Distal and
proximal reamers are color-coded to provide easy identication of implant sizes and
reduce unnecessary instruments.
Distal reamers are intended to allow the surgeon to prepare and size the canal for
optimal t of the tapered, uted, distally xed stem. When used in conjunction with
trial bodies and necks, the distal reamers function as intramedullary trials which
should provide the surgeon with an accurate assessment of implant positioning
while reducing the number of instruments and trial components. Distal reamers are
available in diameters of 10mm to 21mm in 1.0mm increments in lengths of 190mm
and diameters of 10mm to 27mm in lengths of 240mm and 300mm.
The proximal reamers are uniquely designed to be used over the distal reamers. By
reaming “over the top”, the surgeon is preparing for the proximal aspect of the stem
based on the location of the distal reamer. During canal preparation, “over the top”
reaming allows the surgeon to maintain the relative position of the proximal and
distal reamed cavities to accept the implant of choice. Proximal reamers are available
in sizes which correspond to the Sleeveless stem size and the Extra Small, Small,
Medium and Large sleeve for each Sleeved stem size.
