The 6 inch Bunnell Tendon Stripper 4mm Diameter (Size 2) is a specialized surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled tendon stripping, harvesting, and preparation. With an overall length of 6 inches and a 4mm diameter working size, this instrument provides a practical configuration for tendon procedures requiring controlled handling and consistent instrument movement.
The Bunnell tendon stripper is designed to facilitate the separation and preparation of tendon tissue according to the surgeon’s selected technique. Its dedicated working design allows the instrument to be guided along the tendon while maintaining direct manual control over direction and applied pressure. This can be useful during appropriate tendon harvesting, graft preparation, and reconstructive procedures.
The 4mm diameter provides an intermediate working size within tendon stripper configurations. The Size 2 designation offers an additional reference for selecting the appropriate instrument from a range of available Bunnell tendon stripper sizes. Proper size selection should be based on the intended procedure, tendon dimensions, and the requirements of the surgical technique.
The 6-inch overall length provides a compact working profile and allows the operator to maintain controlled handling. Manual operation gives the surgeon or qualified healthcare professional the ability to regulate the movement and pressure applied during tendon preparation. Appropriate technique and careful handling remain essential for minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma.
The Bunnell Tendon Stripper may be incorporated into suitable orthopedic, reconstructive, hand surgery, tendon repair, and tendon graft instrument sets. Its specific use should be determined by a qualified surgical professional based on the procedure and anatomical requirements.
After use, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned to remove tissue and biological material from the working surfaces. Careful inspection should follow cleaning to identify wear, deformation, corrosion, or other damage that could affect proper instrument function.
When supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established instrument-processing protocol. Proper drying and storage can help maintain the instrument’s condition between uses.
The 6″ Bunnell Tendon Stripper 4mm Diameter (Size 2) provides a practical option for controlled tendon preparation where a 4mm working size is appropriate. Its 6-inch length, Bunnell design, and defined size configuration make it a useful addition to professional orthopedic and tendon surgery instrument sets.
