For large patients with wide proximal

necessary to ream in order to seat the

Taper Reamers (9801-41/46) can be
used for these circumstances. These
tapered reamers are smaller than
the corresponding rasp (see Table

be passed down the canal without
violating the rasp envelope of the

smaller than a 12, the IM Reamers can
be used.
