Surgical Austin Moore And Thompson Hip Prosthesis Instruments Set
The Surgical Austin Moore and Thompson Hip Prosthesis Instruments Set is a specialized collection of surgical tools used in orthopedic procedures, particularly for hip replacements. The set is designed to assist surgeons in implanting the Austin Moore or Thompson hip prostheses, which are used in hemiarthroplasty (partial hip replacement). Here’s a general description of the components:
1. Austin Moore Prosthesis:
A monoblock femoral stem is used in hip hemiarthroplasty.
Typically made of stainless steel or titanium.
The prosthesis has a rounded head to fit into the acetabulum and a stem that is inserted into the femur.
2. Thompson Prosthesis:
Similar to the Austin Moore but with slight differences in design.
It has a smooth, rounded head and a straight stem.
3. Bone Rasp:
Used to shape and smooth the femoral canal before the prosthesis is inserted.
Comes in various sizes to match the prosthesis.
4. Femoral Head Extractor:
A specialized tool used to remove the femoral head during the surgery.
5. Caliper/Measuring Gauge:
Used to measure the dimensions of the femoral canal and prosthesis to ensure a proper fit.
6. Bone Cement Injector:
A device used to apply bone cement, if required, to secure the prosthesis in place.
7. Trial Heads and Stems:
Temporary components are used to test the fit and alignment of the prosthesis before the final implantation.
8. Stem Inserter/Impactor:
A tool used to insert the prosthesis carefully stems into the femoral canal.
Designed to avoid damage to the bone or prosthesis.
9. Stem Extractor:
A tool used for removing the stem if adjustments are necessary during surgery.
10. Acetabular Reamer:
If the acetabulum needs reshaping or smoothing, this tool is used.
11. Surgical Mallet:
Used in conjunction with other instruments to assist in positioning and inserting the prosthesis.
12. Bone Curettes and Elevators:
Used to remove bone fragments and prepare the bone for prosthesis implantation.
13. Surgical Forceps and Clamps:
General surgical tools are included for gripping and holding tissues or prosthetic components during surgery.
14. Retractors:
Tools used to hold back tissues, providing better visibility and access to the surgical site.
This set is typically made of high-grade surgical stainless steel and is sterilizable for reuse. It includes instruments that ensure precision in sizing, fitting, and implanting the prosthesis, minimizing patient trauma and improving the surgery’s success rate.
