Tendon Tunnel 33.5cm

Clinical Application

Used to create and maintain a controlled subcutaneous tunnel for passage of tendon grafts, tendon transfers, and suture shuttling during reconstructive procedures. Common applications include hand and wrist tendon repairs, tendon transfers in the forearm and lower extremity, and other procedures where atraumatic, guided advancement of tendon tissue or graft material is required. The instrument enables a single-operator, controlled passage that reduces soft-tissue trauma and protects the graft or suture during transfer.

Design & Configuration

The extended 33.5 cm length provides reach for deeper or more extensive tunnels while maintaining control at the entry site. The hand-held tunneler is configured to accept a graft, suture, or shuttle within its passing channel, allowing secure capture and smooth advancement through subcutaneous planes. The elongated shaft geometry helps maintain a stable trajectory and minimizes the need for repeated instrument exchanges or blind probing.
