No-Scratch ™ Whitney Valitome ™ is a single-use, sterile, plastic instrument, in the shape of an osteotome, for quickly applying, manipulating, spreading, and removing bone cement during hip and knee replacement surgery.

The Valitome’s 12mm wide tip removes excess cement from replacement hips and knees, and can also be used to apply or spread cement. Easy-to-maneuver, the teal Valitome lets you remove cement from all edges of the prosthesis.No-Scratch Whitney Valitome Features:SAFER THAN STEEL- Made of plastic - sturdy yet softer than surgical steel.HANDIER- Each tool has a molded-in thumb indentation instantly orienting the tool.- Easier to maneuver in hard to see places.- Color-coded for easy identification.FASTER- Comes individually packaged in sterile, peel open pouch, ready to go.- Applies, manipulates, or removes cement with fingertip precision.ECONOMICAL- The cost of a single revision dwarfs the cost of a single-use instrument. - Disposable – there’s no need to waste time removing hardened cement or re-sterilizing tools.- Less expensive to buy and inventory - order only the tool you use.- Packaged 25 individually wrapped tools to a carton for convenient shelf storage.
