Perthes Bone Awl/Reamer 21cm

Clinical Application

Used in orthopedic and trauma procedures to establish and enlarge cortical entry points and to prepare cancellous bone for fixation devices. The combined awl/reamer function allows the surgeon to create an initial pilot hole through cortex and then manually ream or widen the canal for guide wires, pins, or provisional implants. Typical applications include preparation of intramedullary entry sites and small‑bone tunnel creation where controlled, tactile bone removal is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument combines a pointed awl tip for direct cortical penetration with a reamer‑style shaft to remove and condense cancellous bone as the device is advanced. The 21 cm shaft length provides reach for long bones while maintaining tactile feedback during manual use. The stepped transition between the awl tip and reamer portion helps maintain alignment with the desired trajectory, reducing the need for repeated passes.
