OrthoClast System
Fromendocon GmbH
The removal of cementless prosthesis using the conventional technique with transfemoral access usually ends with major damage to the bone. The OrthoClast system in combination with the flexible micro chisel preserves the bone stock and normally avoids transfemoral access. The OrthoClast System works with shock wave technology comparable to a pneumatic hammer.
