Expanding Cannulated Corkscrew Femoral Head Remover

The Expanding Cannulated Corkscrew Femoral Head Remover is an advanced orthopedic surgical instrument used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), hemiarthroplasty, and revision hip surgery. It is specifically designed to provide strong, stable engagement of the femoral head or prosthetic implant for safe and controlled extraction.

The cannulated design allows placement over a guide wire or central axis, ensuring accurate positioning and alignment during insertion. Once engaged, the expanding mechanism secures itself within the femoral head or implant surface, significantly improving grip strength and reducing the risk of slippage during extraction.

The corkscrew-style threaded tip penetrates and anchors into bone or implant material, while the expanding feature increases holding force for difficult or revision cases where standard extractors may fail. This makes it particularly useful in cemented or tightly seated femoral head removals.

Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the instrument provides excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and durability under repeated sterilization cycles. Its ergonomic handle ensures controlled torque application and stable extraction force during surgery.

The instrument is fully autoclavable and reusable, making it suitable for orthopedic operating rooms, trauma centers, and joint reconstruction units.
