“The simple concept of this surgical tool represents an impressive solution that significantly improves the outcome of an operation,” praised the jury in its assessment of the RBN Resection Guide. It is an uncomplicated and effective aid for use during hip replacement surgery. The template design assists the surgeon in locating the geometric centre of the femoral head so as to identify the ideal level for removal of the bone. The tool is available in two different versions in order to accommodate different hip sizes and anatomies.
