Orthopedic Grafting Instruments

In line with our objective, ADVANTAGE brand has introduced an innovative product Orthopedic Grafting Instruments. It is also known as Bone Graft Harvester (BGH) Instrument Set.

The major advantages BGH offers are listed below.

• BGH uses resected femoral head to extract bone graft, during cemented THR or cemented bipolar implant surgery. It can also be used to take bone graft in the form of 6mm slice.
• In complicated THR surgeries like Protrusio hip or dysplastic hip, a BGH can be used to cut femoral head in the slices of approximately 6 mm thickness, which would be used for impaction bone grafting.
• The use of Cement Restrictor, (which is made up of polyethylene) is thus avoided. The postoperative osteolysis, chances of foreign body infections as well as the cost of using a cement restrictor is reduced.
• Apart from extracting autologous bone graft, as a cement restrictor, BGH can be used for shaping and sizing any bone graft as per surgeon’s requirement, in other surgeries also.
