Reaming Principles
Flexible Shafts
Click on image for enlarged view
Flexible shafts, available in three diameters, allow reaming to depths
of up to 440 mm:
· With 9.0 mm fixed front-cutting reamer
· 8.0 mm diameter, for 9.5 mm-12.5 mm Medullary Reamer Heads
· 10.0 mm diameter, for 13.0 mm-19.0 mm Medullary Reamer Heads
The flexible shafts are made of coaxially arranged tubular wire coils.
Pulling on the shaft may damage the coils. The shafts are driven
clockwise with the power source. Do not reverse the shafts; they
may uncoil.
Flexible shafts are always used over the 3.0 mm Reaming Rod and
should be checked for damage before use. Do not use without a
reaming rod.
