The Handles are instruments that attach to the femoral rasps or broaches to prepare the Femoral Canal in total hip replacement procedures. The rasps have a geometry similar to the final size and shape of the implant. The straight design allows the rasp handle to be used in standard or minimally invasive approaches because it minimizes the contact with adjacent soft tissue. The Handle is impacted with a slotted mallet on the top and on the bottom portions of the striking plate, to achieve rasp insertion and extraction respectively. The handles share the same geometry in the region that is of interest in this matter. |
