The 6 inch Bunnell Tendon Stripper 3mm Diameter (Size 1) is a specialized surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled tendon stripping, harvesting, and preparation. With a 6-inch overall length and a 3mm diameter working size, this instrument provides a compact configuration for procedures where precise tendon handling and controlled instrument movement are important.
The Bunnell tendon stripper is designed to facilitate the separation and preparation of tendon tissue according to the surgical technique being used. Its dedicated working design allows the instrument to be guided along the tendon while the operator maintains direct control over movement and pressure. This can be useful when preparing tendon tissue for appropriate reconstructive or graft-related procedures.
The 3mm diameter provides a smaller working size compared with larger tendon strippers, making this configuration suitable when the selected procedure calls for a narrower instrument profile. The Size 1 designation provides an additional size reference for selecting the appropriate instrument within a tendon-stripping system.
At 6 inches in length, the instrument offers a compact design that supports controlled handling. Manual operation allows the surgeon or qualified healthcare professional to regulate the direction and force applied during tendon preparation. Proper surgical technique and appropriate instrument selection remain important for minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma.
The Bunnell Tendon Stripper may be included in suitable orthopedic, reconstructive, hand surgery, tendon repair, and tendon graft instrument sets. Its specific application should be determined by a qualified professional based on the surgical procedure, anatomy, and required tendon preparation technique.
After use, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned to remove tissue and biological material from its working surfaces. Careful inspection should also be performed to identify signs of wear, deformation, corrosion, or other damage that could affect instrument performance.
When supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization should be carried out according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established instrument-processing protocol. Appropriate drying and storage can help maintain the instrument’s condition between uses.
The 6″ Bunnell Tendon Stripper 3mm Diameter (Size 1) provides a compact and specifically sized option for controlled tendon preparation. Its 3mm working diameter, 6-inch length, and Bunnell design make it a practical addition to professional orthopedic and tendon surgery instrument sets when the selected size is appropriate for the procedure.
