Description

The RIA (Reamer/Irrigator/Aspirator System) from DePuy Synthes is an advanced surgical technology that combines three essential functions—reaming, irrigation, and aspiration—into one efficient and controlled process. Developed for use in orthopaedic and trauma surgery, the RIA system enables precise canal preparation while maintaining low intramedullary pressure, minimizing the risk of fat and thermal embolism during reaming.

It is particularly effective for preparing the femoral or tibial canal prior to intramedullary nailing and for harvesting autologous bone grafts from the femur or tibia. The collected graft material is rich in osteogenic cells and structurally viable, offering a less invasive alternative to iliac crest bone harvesting.

The RIA’s ergonomic design and closed irrigation circuit ensure controlled reaming under fluoroscopic guidance while maintaining a clean, safe surgical field.

The RIA 2 System features significant improvements, including enhanced irrigation flow, optimized suction control, and improved reamer head durability, enabling consistent performance even in prolonged or revision procedures.
Combining safety, efficiency, and versatility, the RIA System has become the gold standard for canal debridement, bone graft harvesting, and intramedullary reconstruction procedures worldwide.
