Symmetry’s new Dual Connection Offset Acetabular Reamer Driver is used during Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) surgery to easily introduce acetabular reamers to the hip joint and to enhance visibility in minimally invasive procedures such as Direct Anterior Approach THA surgery. The driver features a patented drive shaft assembly designed and tested to meet the demands of THA surgery. The product highlights include:
- Improved access to the acetabulum due to the low-profile reamer/driver connection.
- Innovative design allowing easy disassembly to facilitate the cleaning and sterilization of the internal components.
- An ergonomic silicone over-molded stabilization handle.
- Compatibility with Symmetry’s flagship 420SS Acetabular Reamers as well as the Low-Profile Parabolic Reamers.
