  • Grater and trial liner
    Patent number: 10194924
    Abstract: An instrument for preparing an acetabulum. The instrument includes a handle having a reamer coupling feature and a trial coupling feature. The instrument further includes an acetabular reamer having an outer cutting surface and an inner concave surface having an apex. The acetabular reamer has a first handle coupling feature located at the apex adapted to couple to the reamer coupling feature of the handle. A trial having an outer convex surface having an apex is also included. The outer convex surface adapted to fit inside the inner concave surface of the acetabular reamer. The trial has a second handle coupling feature located at the apex of the outer convex surface adapted to couple to the trial coupling feature of the handle.
    Type: Grant
