The Rivero Anti-Rotation Corkscrew Femoral Head Remover Set is engineered for use in total hip arthroplasty (THA), hemiarthroplasty, and complex revision hip surgery, where reliable femoral head extraction is required.
This system utilizes a corkscrew-thread engagement mechanism that firmly anchors into the femoral head, providing strong anti-rotation control during extraction. This prevents slippage and rotation of the implant, allowing surgeons to apply steady traction for safe removal even in difficult revision cases where bone or implant surfaces may be tightly fixed.
The anti-rotation design is particularly valuable in revision arthroplasty, where implants may be embedded or surrounded by fibrous tissue, making standard extraction tools less effective. The corkscrew engagement ensures axial alignment and controlled pull-out force, reducing the risk of bone damage.
Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument offers excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The threaded tip is precision-machined to ensure secure purchase in the femoral head while minimizing structural damage.
The ergonomic handle provides firm grip and torque control, enabling safe insertion and extraction under high resistance conditions. The instrument is fully autoclavable and reusable, making it suitable for orthopedic operating rooms, trauma centers, and revision joint reconstruction units.
