Tendon Stripper malleable shaft 4.0mm, 23cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for atraumatic extraction and stripping of long tendons used as autografts or for tendon transfer procedures. It is commonly used in orthopedic soft-tissue procedures—most notably hamstring tendon harvest for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction—where controlled separation of the tendon from surrounding fascia and soft tissue is required while preserving tendon length and integrity.

Design & Configuration

The malleable shaft allows the surgeon to contour the instrument intraoperatively to match patient anatomy and the desired path between the incision and tendon origin. A low-profile 4.0 mm shaft diameter combined with a 23 cm overall length provides reach and maneuverability through a single incision or minimal-access port, enabling atraumatic passage along the tendon plane and reducing the need for extension of the incision.
