Claims6
A device for removing an acetabular cup, the device comprising:
- a central body having
- a first end integrally connected to said central body, bearing a first handle, integrally and coaxially provided at said first free end of the central body, and a second handle attached to said first handle, said second handle being transverse to a central axis of the central body, and
- a second end integrally connected to said central body
- a first toothed cup-shaped element, integral with the second end of the central body;
- a second toothed element, arranged in front of said toothed cup-shaped element, complementary to said toothed cup-shaped element and substantially symmetrical with respect to one of its central axes, wherein the first tooth cup-shaped element and the second toothed element are detachably couplable to one another and, when coupled, rotation of the first tooth cup-shaped element in a predetermined direction causes rotation of the second toothed element;
- a cutting element;
- and
- a stop element which can be detachably coupled to the second toothed element.
