Instruments

REDAPT™ instruments are designed to maximize surgical ef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.
