The Bunnel Tendon Stripper 6″, 2mm Dia is a specialized surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled tendon stripping and preparation during appropriate orthopedic and reconstructive procedures. Its narrow 2mm diameter provides a compact working profile that can be useful when access and precision are important.
Tendon strippers are commonly used to help separate and prepare tendon tissue while maintaining controlled instrument movement. The Bunnell design provides a practical configuration for procedures involving tendon harvesting or preparation, where a dedicated stripping instrument is preferred over general-purpose surgical tools. The 2mm diameter is particularly suited to applications where a smaller working dimension is required.
With an overall length of 6 inches, this Bunnell Tendon Stripper provides a useful balance between reach and maneuverability. The compact length allows the surgeon or surgical professional to maintain direct control of the instrument during manipulation. Its narrow working profile can also help support access in areas where larger tendon strippers may be less convenient.
The instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, offering the strength and durability required for repeated professional use when the product is specified as reusable. Stainless steel construction also provides resistance to corrosion and supports routine cleaning and sterilization when appropriate maintenance procedures are followed.
The smooth, functional design is intended to support efficient handling during tendon preparation. Proper technique should always be determined by the qualified surgical professional according to the procedure, patient anatomy, and applicable clinical protocol. The instrument should be inspected before each use to ensure that the working portion and overall structure remain in suitable condition.
For reusable instruments, immediate post-procedure cleaning is recommended to prevent tissue and biological material from drying on the surface. The Bunnell Tendon Stripper should be cleaned, rinsed, dried, inspected, and sterilized according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing protocol. Special attention should be given to the narrow 2mm working area during cleaning and inspection.
The Bunnell Tendon Stripper 6″, 2mm Diameter is a practical addition to orthopedic, hand surgery, tendon repair, reconstructive, and specialty surgical instrument sets where a compact tendon stripping instrument is required. Its 6-inch length and 2mm diameter provide a focused configuration for controlled tendon preparation and professional surgical handling.
