The 6 Inch Bunnell Tendon Stripper 7mm Diameter, Size 5 is a specialized surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled tendon stripping and preparation. Its Bunnell-style configuration provides surgeons with a practical instrument for tendon harvesting and preparation when a 7mm working diameter is appropriate for the selected surgical technique.
With an overall length of 6 inches, this tendon stripper offers a compact profile that supports convenient handling and maneuverability. The Size 5 configuration and 7mm diameter provide a larger working option within the Bunnell tendon stripper range, allowing the surgical team to select the appropriate size according to the tendon and procedure requirements.
The instrument is intended to facilitate a controlled stripping action along the tendon during selected surgical procedures. It can be useful when preparing tendon tissue for grafting, reconstruction, repair, or other orthopedic techniques that involve tendon harvesting. The straightforward manual design allows the surgeon to maintain direct control of the instrument throughout the procedure.
The 6-inch length can be advantageous where a balance between working access and instrument control is required. Its defined 7mm diameter helps distinguish this Size 5 configuration from smaller Bunnell tendon stripper options. Selecting the appropriate diameter should be based on the anatomical requirements, tendon dimensions, and established surgical technique.
This Bunnell tendon stripper may be incorporated into orthopedic, reconstructive, hand surgery, tendon repair, and specialized tendon harvesting instrument sets. Its compact design makes it practical for surgical trays where dedicated tendon preparation instruments are required.
As with other precision surgical instruments, proper handling and maintenance are important for reliable performance. For reusable configurations, the instrument should be cleaned thoroughly after use and inspected for tissue residue, surface damage, corrosion, or other abnormalities. Particular attention should be given to the working portion to ensure it remains suitable for its intended application.
If supplied as a reusable instrument, sterilization should be performed using a validated method compatible with the instrument and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and healthcare facility protocols. Proper processing helps maintain instrument condition and supports safe preparation for subsequent procedures.
The 6 Inch Bunnell Tendon Stripper 7mm Diameter, Size 5 provides a practical combination of compact length and a defined 7mm working diameter. Its Bunnell-style design makes it a useful addition to professional orthopedic and reconstructive surgical instrument collections where controlled tendon stripping and preparation are required.
