Tendon Stripper 28.5cm

Clinical Application

This long-shaft tendon stripper is intended for controlled harvest of autologous tendons used as graft material in orthopaedic and reconstructive procedures. It is commonly used during hamstring tendon harvest for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and for other tendon grafting procedures where atraumatic mobilization and release of a tendon from surrounding soft tissue are required. The instrument facilitates delivery of the tendon through a limited incision while minimizing iatrogenic damage to the graft.

Design & Configuration

The 28.5 cm length provides extended reach for lower-extremity and deep dissections while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. A slender shaft geometry reduces soft-tissue retraction, and the atraumatic, rounded stripping tip is configured to mobilize the tendon and separate adhesions without compromising graft integrity. The handheld design supports single-handed control during sequential release and retrieval, enabling efficient graft harvest through small incisions.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Tendon stripper
