The 9” Tendon Stripper Malleable 5.5mm is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed for tendon stripping and harvesting procedures. With an overall length of 9 inches and a 5.5mm working size, it provides a practical combination of reach, control, and working access for procedures requiring careful tendon manipulation.
The malleable shaft is the key design feature of this tendon stripper. It can be carefully shaped to accommodate the required surgical pathway, helping the surgeon position the instrument according to the anatomy and procedural technique. This flexibility can be particularly useful when a straight, rigid instrument does not provide the desired access or working angle.
The 5.5mm size provides a defined working dimension for applications where this configuration is appropriate. The instrument is designed for controlled advancement along the tendon while helping maintain consistent handling during stripping. Its 9-inch length provides useful reach while remaining manageable in the hand.
The instrument features a surgeon-oriented design intended to support precise manipulation. A balanced construction and practical handle configuration allow the user to maintain control while advancing or withdrawing the stripper. The malleable shaft can also help adapt the instrument to different approaches without requiring a completely different instrument configuration.
This tendon stripper is suitable for orthopedic and related surgical applications involving tendon preparation or harvesting, according to the surgeon’s preferred technique and the requirements of the procedure. Its compact 9-inch length can be useful when working areas require a combination of access and instrument control.
When supplied as a reusable surgical instrument, it should be cleaned, inspected, packaged, sterilized, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s sterilization protocol. Proper cleaning is particularly important around working surfaces and any areas where biological material may accumulate.
The 9″ Malleable Tendon Stripper 5.5mm is a useful addition to orthopedic instrument sets where adjustable access, controlled handling, and a specific 5.5mm configuration are required. Its practical dimensions and malleable construction make it suitable for professional surgical environments where dependable instrument performance and consistent handling are important.
