Engineered for acetabular cup removal during total hip revision surgery. This instrument features a modified multi‑arch blade geometry, originally designed by Merrill Ritter, MD, allowing the osteotome to closely conform to the outer surface of a well‑fixed acetabular cup. This design supports controlled circumferential release while helping to minimize bone loss during revision procedures
