The ATTUNE INTUITION Impaction Handle is a re-useable instrument utilized in knee replacement procedures. The instrument interfaces with several related ATTUNE instruments: keel punch, tibial tower, evaluation bullet, fixed bearing tibial impactor, rotating platform tibial impactor, and femoral impactor, for the purpose of impaction, extraction, and insertion applications at steps within the surgical procedure. Due to the frequency of its use, two impaction handles are supplied in each kit.
