What is a REA device in a bone graft harvest for a fx femur?

A REA (reamer-irrigator-aspirator) device is a surgical tool used in bone graft harvest for a fractured femur. It is designed to remove bone marrow and create a cavity in the bone for graft placement while simultaneously irrigating and aspirating to reduce the risk of thermal necrosis and contamination with bone debris or fat. The REA device helps in harvesting bone graft without the need for a separate irrigation/aspiration system.
