Advantages

What's great about pneumatic broaching with the Woodpecker

Oscillation with a frequency of 70Hz

  • Accurate shaping of the femoral canal provides improved fit. Gaps between the bone and the prosthesis are avoided. Non-physiological dilation of the femur, damage to the cortical bone and fissures are minimized substantially.

    The high-frequency axial impulses of The Woodpecker reduce operation time.

  • Like thousands of other Surgeons have already discovered, you too will agree that
    The Woodpecker gives you precise control, yielding consistent results; every time.

Axial force of no more than 1 Newton

The extremely low-level impulses of The Woodpecker

  • Minimizes Hoop stresses and decreases the bone marrow emboli risk.
  • Lower the risk of femoral fractures caused by excessive radial forces

Quickrelease

  • Broaches or Adapters can be orientated in 90° increments to accommodate Surgeon preference or approach.
