Abstract
A reamer intended for surgery, made up of a hollow body of revolution provided with four radial arms which are perpendicular to each other so as to form a cross for fixing the reamer on a reamer holder. The cross formed by the radial arms is made up of a first diametral bar (1), a pin (2) passing through the first bar at its center and protruding each side of this bar, and two radial bars (3, 4) which have an axial hole via which each of these radial bars is engaged on the pin.With this construction, which is simple to produce, it is possible to omit welds and to eliminate the cleaning problems inherent to these welds.
