Conmed Flex Channel Reamer, 5mm KC8550
The Flex Channel Reamer, 5 mm KC8550c is a surgical reaming instrument used in orthopedic procedures to create or enlarge bone channels. It has a 5 mm diameter and is designed to flex and follow curved or indirect paths during surgery. Surgeons use it to prepare graft tunnels or guide hardware along bone structures.
This reamer is engineered with flexibility to navigate anatomical curvature and minimize trauma to surrounding bone and soft tissue during tunnel preparation. It is commonly used in arthroscopic knee surgery, especially for ACL reconstruction, to create an accurate channel for graft passage. The tool ensures smooth, controlled material removal and precise sizing of the tunnel. Because of its design, it helps reduce the risk of cortical breach or graft misalignment in challenging geometries.
