The reamer includes a rotating shaft cooperating with a surgical drill or other power source at ... 11/23/06 - 20060264958 - Minimally invasive collapsible surgical reamer A surgical reamer (10) for cutting a bone socket is provided, defining a drive axis, an apex. The reamer (10) further includes (a) a fixed support portion (12) aligned with the drive axis and having at least one radial cutting blade (16c); (b) a pivoting portion (20) aligned with the ... 09/28/06 - 20060217730 - Expandable spring loaded acetabuler reamer In accordance with the present invention an improved spring-loaded expandable acetabular reamer is described, which comprises a number of convex reaming segments symmetrically located by pair around a central core of the Reamer tool. It is also an object of the present invention to provide and improved spring-loaded reaming segment, ... 08/31/06 - 20060195110 - Connector for domed cutting tool The surgical reamer has a hollow dome with apertures spaced apart arranged in arcs extending from an apex of the dome to the base portion of the dome, and removable teeth positioned in the apertures. Each cutting tooth has a flange that is aligned flush with the external surface of ... 07/06/06 - 20060149270 - Collapsible orthopaedic reamer An orthopaedic reamer including an at least partially hemispherical cutting head which is rotatable about a primary axis and at least one deployable wing connected to the cutting head. Each of the deployable wings are pivotable about a corresponding secondary axis. At least one corresponding secondary axis is in the ... 06/15/06 - 20060129158 - Apparatus for and method of providing a hip replacement A short main incision and portal incisions at portal positions strategically displaced from the main incision are provided in a patient's hip. One portal incision (acetabular portal) provides for a disposition of reamers in the patient's acetabulum to shape the acetabulum. A cannula is inserted through the portal incision to ... 06/15/06 - 20060129157 - Inset acetabular reamer coupling An acetabular reamer for surgical use includes (a) a substantially hemispherical dome defining an equatorial plane, and (b) a reamer spindle interface structure fixedly attached to the inside of the dome so as to substantially inset the interface structure within the dome. This insetting of the interface structure helps minimize ... 05/11/06 - 20060100632 - Apparatus and method for shaping a mammalian joint surface An apparatus and method are provided for shaping a mammalian joint surface, such as within the knee joint. The apparatus includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, and a head pivotally connected to the shaft distal end. The head includes a textured portion arranged to contact ... 05/04/06 - 20060095041 - Contoured reamer teeth and method of manufacture An acetabular reamer (10′) for cutting a required cut shape. The reamer has a cutting shell (12′) having a series of doubly curved cutting teeth (16′) thereon of a quantity to substantially reduce a cutting pressure on each tooth as well as to reduce a size of a typical chip ... 04/13/06 - 20060079906 - Acetabular rim cutter An acetabular rim cutter has an annular cutting face provided on a rotatable carrier. A coupler is provided for attaching the carrier to a rotational power source. A guide element is axially aligned with the cutting face to locate and align the cutting face on the acetabulum with which it ... 02/02/06 - 20060025774 - Minimally invasive collapsible surgical reamer A preferred acetabular reamer is disclosed for cutting a bone socket, defining an apex and rotatable about a drive axis.
