Bunnell Tendon Stripper 3mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

Used to harvest and retrieve tendons for grafting and reconstructive procedures, particularly in hand, wrist and small-joint surgery. The instrument is advanced along the course of a released tendon to separate it from sheath and peritendinous adhesions, enabling controlled extraction for autograft use. The 3 mm profile is suited to slender tendons frequently encountered in hand and forearm procedures; selection of diameter should match target tendon size to minimize soft-tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The slim, 15 cm working length provides reach and control in confined surgical fields such as the palm and forearm. A low-profile 3 mm stripping profile facilitates smooth advancement along the tendon sheath with minimal bulk, while tactile hand control supports gradual, controlled separation. The instrument geometry is optimized to permit linear motion along the tendon axis for predictable release and retrieval.
