The cement restrictor introducer has a pointed tip that is put into the bone. The cement restrictor is then threaded onto the introducer. Once the cement restrictor is in place, the introducer is withdrawn, leaving the cement restrictor in the bone.
A Cement Restrictor Introducer is used to aid in the implantation of a cement restrictor within the bone’s medullary canal. Following the reaming process, which prepares the medullary canal for the implant, a cement restrictor is implanted to create a barrier within the canal and prevent the bone cement from flowing into undesirable locations.
