Clinical Application
This instrument is designed to facilitate atraumatic mobilization and harvesting of tendons for grafting and tendon-transfer procedures. The 5.5 mm shaft profile and 23 cm working length allow passage along the course of common graft sources in orthopedics and hand surgery, supporting limited-incision or open harvest techniques while minimizing soft-tissue disruption.
Design & Configuration
The malleable shaft permits intraoperative contouring to patient anatomy and tendon trajectory, reducing the need for instrument repositioning or multiple access points. A slim 5.5 mm shaft reduces bulk in confined tunnels and helps maintain a low-profile path along the tendon for controlled stripping and retrieval.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Tendon stripper (malleable shaft)
- Working length: 23 cm
- Shaft diameter: 5.5 mm
- Configuration: Malleable shaft for customized curvature
- Intended use: Tendon harvesting and stripping for graft procurement

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance and durability required for repeated clinical use. The malleable shaft is tempered to retain a bent contour while maintaining structural integrity for controlled tendon passage.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
