The 11″ Tendon Stripper, Autoclavable Handle, 3 mm is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled tendon harvesting and preparation. Its elongated 11-inch profile provides useful reach when working along the length of a tendon, while the 3 mm working size offers a focused configuration for appropriate surgical applications.
Tendon strippers are commonly used during procedures where a tendon must be carefully separated and harvested from surrounding tissues. The working design of this instrument allows the surgeon to advance the stripper along the tendon while maintaining controlled handling. Its specialized configuration makes it a practical addition to orthopedic, sports medicine, and reconstructive surgical instrument sets.
The 3 mm specification provides a defined working profile for procedures requiring a relatively narrow tendon stripper. The extended 11-inch length can help provide access and reach during tendon preparation, particularly when the surgical approach requires manipulation along a longer anatomical pathway.
An autoclavable handle supports routine instrument processing in professional surgical environments. Proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization according to validated healthcare-facility protocols are important for maintaining the instrument’s condition and reliable performance. The working end should also be checked before use for cleanliness, alignment, and any signs of wear or damage.
Manufactured from high-quality surgical materials, the instrument is designed for durability and repeated professional use. Its elongated construction and specialized working end provide a dedicated solution for tendon-related surgical procedures without relying on general-purpose instruments.
The 11″ Tendon Stripper, Autoclavable Handle, 3 mm is suitable for inclusion in orthopedic and sports medicine surgical sets where tendon harvesting and preparation are required. Its combination of extended reach, compact working size, and autoclavable handle makes it a useful instrument for qualified surgical professionals.
