Femoral Head Disengaging Punch

The Femoral Head Disengaging Punch is an orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled disengagement of the femoral head during applicable hip arthroplasty procedures. Its angled punch platform provides a defined working orientation for positioning the instrument at the femoral head.

The instrument has an overall length of 9" (22.9 cm) and a 0.5" (12.7 mm) shaft diameter, providing a substantial shaft configuration for controlled positioning and handling. The punch platform features a 30° offset angle and a 10 × 20 mm Delrin end.

Key Features

• Designed for femoral head disengagement.
• 9" (22.9 cm) overall length.
• 0.5" (12.7 mm) shaft diameter.
• 30° punch platform offset angle.
• 10 × 20 mm Delrin punch platform end.
• Angled platform provides a defined working orientation.
• Designed for controlled handling during hip arthroplasty procedures.

Design and Configuration

The Femoral Head Disengaging Punch combines an extended shaft with an angled punch platform. The 30° offset angle positions the punch platform at an angle relative to the shaft, providing a specific working orientation for femoral head disengagement.

The shaft has a diameter of 0.5" (12.7 mm), while the punch platform terminates in a 10 × 20 mm Delrin end. These dimensions define the instrument's working configuration.

Punch Platform and Offset Angle

The punch platform has a 30° offset angle, providing an angled working surface for positioning against the femoral head.

This offset configuration allows the instrument to approach the working area from a defined angle and may assist with positioning when access or instrument orientation is important during the surgical procedure.

Delrin Punch Platform End

The punch platform incorporates a 10 × 20 mm Delrin end. Delrin is used here as the specified material for the punch platform end.

The defined 10 × 20 mm dimensions provide the working-end size and should be considered when positioning the instrument during the applicable surgical technique.

Shaft Configuration

The instrument features a 0.5" (12.7 mm) shaft diameter and an overall length of 9" (22.9 cm).

The shaft provides the extended connection between the handle area and the angled punch platform, allowing the instrument to be positioned at the operative site while maintaining control from the opposite end.

Surgical Applications

The Femoral Head Disengaging Punch is designed for use in orthopedic hip procedures where controlled disengagement of the femoral head is required.

It may be used during applicable hip arthroplasty procedures as part of a surgical technique for separating or disengaging the femoral head. The exact method of use should be determined according to the surgeon's technique and the requirements of the procedure.
