Unger Flexible Proxireamer System

The Unger Flexible Proxireamer System with Case is a modular orthopedic surgical instrumentation system designed to provide a selection of flexible reaming components for compatible surgical procedures. The system is supplied with a dedicated case and includes flexible proxireamers, guide wires, interchangeable reamer sizes, a case insert, and a flexible proxireamer gauge.

The system provides multiple reamer diameters ranging from 9.5 mm through 15 mm in 0.5 mm increments, allowing the appropriate reamer size to be selected according to the procedural requirement.

System Configuration

The complete system is identified as 2627-00 and is supplied with a case. Individual components are also available separately under their corresponding product numbers.

The system includes two flexible proxireamers and two guide wires as part of the complete set. The individual product numbers 2627-01 and 2627-02 refer to one unit of the respective component rather than the quantity included in the complete system.

Flexible Proxireamer

The 2627-01 Flexible Proxireamer with Zimmer Hall End has an overall length of 9" (22.9 cm) and a shaft diameter at the end of 0.315" (8 mm). Two units are included in the complete system, while product number 2627-01 represents one individual flexible proxireamer.

The flexible configuration is designed to provide the intended flexibility and access associated with the system's reaming applications. The Zimmer Hall End provides the specified connection configuration for compatible equipment.

Guide Wire

The 2627-02 Guide Wire has an overall length of 11.8" (30 cm), a shaft diameter of 2.5 mm, and a 5 mm ball head diameter.

Two guide wires are included in the complete system. Product number 2627-02 represents one guide wire when purchased individually.

Reamer Options

The system includes a range of interchangeable reamers designed to provide different working diameters. Available reamer sizes are:

• 9.5 mm Reamer
• 10 mm Reamer
• 10.5 mm Reamer
• 11 mm Reamer
• 11.5 mm Reamer
• 12 mm Reamer
• 12.5 mm Reamer
• 13 mm Reamer
• 13.5 mm Reamer
• 14 mm Reamer
• 14.5 mm Reamer
• 15 mm Reamer

Each listed reamer has an overall length of 1" (2.54 cm). The incremental sizing provides a range of options for selecting the appropriate reamer diameter for the intended procedure.

Case and Case Insert

The 2627-03 Case Insert is designed to organize and accommodate components of the system within the supplied case. The stated dimensions are 12" × 3" × 1".

The case and insert provide a dedicated storage and organization configuration for the system components, helping maintain the components together when the system is not in use.

Flexible Proxireamer Gauge

The 2627-G Flexible Proxireamer Gauge is included as a system component for gauge-related requirements. Its stated dimensions are 4" × 5" × 0.6".

The gauge should be used according to the applicable system instructions and intended surgical technique.

Surgical Applications

The Unger Flexible Proxireamer System is intended for compatible orthopedic surgical applications requiring flexible reaming instrumentation and a selection of reamer diameters. The available component configurations allow the surgical team to select the appropriate system components according to the procedure and compatible instrumentation.

Use should be performed by appropriately trained healthcare professionals following the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer's instructions.

Handling and Use Considerations

Components should be inspected before use to confirm that the flexible shafts, guide wires, reamer surfaces, connection ends, and other functional areas are free from visible damage or deformation.

The appropriate reamer diameter and compatible system components should be selected according to the intended surgical procedure. Ensure that connections are properly engaged before use and avoid using components that show damage or excessive wear.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, the system components should be cleaned, disinfected, inspected, and processed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing procedures.

Particular attention should be given to the flexible shafts, reamer surfaces, guide wires, connection interfaces, and areas where surgical material may accumulate.

Sterilization and Inspection

Before clinical use, reusable components should undergo the appropriate validated sterilization process according to applicable manufacturer instructions and healthcare-facility protocols.

Inspect each component before use. Flexible shafts should be checked for damage or deformation, while reamers should be examined for wear or damage to their working surfaces. Guide wires and connection interfaces should also be inspected before use.
