Fischer Tendon Stripper 31cm

Clinical Application

Designed to facilitate atraumatic harvesting of autologous tendon grafts in orthopedic procedures. Commonly used to free semitendinosus and gracilis tendons during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and other ligament/tendon repairs where a long, controlled stripper is required. The instrument enables the surgeon to advance from the distal harvest site toward the tendon origin while minimizing soft-tissue entanglement and preserving tendon length and integrity for graft preparation.

Design & Configuration

The long shaft provides reach from a small incision to the tendon origin, allowing controlled, inline advancement during stripping maneuvers. A slim, low-profile shaft geometry reduces soft-tissue drag and facilitates subcutaneous passage through the harvest tunnel. The hand-held configuration gives tactile feedback and control for gradual release of accessory attachments while maintaining graft continuity for subsequent preparation.
