Femoral Aimer 6mm

The Femoral Aimer 6mm is an orthopedic arthroscopy instrument designed to assist with controlled femoral tunnel and guide-wire positioning during knee ligament reconstruction procedures. The current product information associates this instrument with ACL and PCL reconstruction and identifies stainless steel as its construction material.

The Femoral Aimer provides a dedicated aiming instrument for surgeons performing arthroscopic knee procedures where accurate guide-wire placement is required before tunnel preparation. Its product-specific 6 mm designation and identifying codes help surgical teams and procurement departments distinguish this model when assembling or replacing instruments within an ACL or PCL reconstruction set.

Femoral Aiming in ACL and PCL Reconstruction

During ligament reconstruction, the position of the femoral tunnel forms an important part of the planned surgical technique. A femoral aimer assists the surgeon in directing the guide wire toward the selected femoral location before subsequent tunnel preparation.

The current product listing associates this instrument with both ACL reconstruction and PCL reconstruction. Exact positioning, approach, and guide-wire placement should be determined by the operating surgeon according to the anatomy, reconstruction technique, graft plan, and procedural requirements.

6mm Femoral Aimer Designation

This product is specifically listed as a Femoral Aimer 6mm. The 6 mm designation provides a clear product reference for inventory and procurement purposes when selecting this model from an orthopedic reconstruction instrument range.

The current product information contains conflicting wording regarding whether the 6 mm measurement refers to the instrument diameter or an offset measurement. For this reason, this description does not assign an unverified meaning to the 6 mm specification. Buyers who require confirmation of the exact measurement should verify it before ordering.

Guide-Wire Positioning

The Femoral Aimer is intended to support controlled positioning of a guide wire during arthroscopic ligament reconstruction. Once the surgeon determines the required tunnel location, the aimer can be positioned according to the selected surgical technique to guide wire placement prior to tunnel preparation.

The exact compatible guide-wire diameter is not specified on the current product page. Procurement teams matching this aimer with an existing ACL or PCL instrument set should therefore confirm guide-wire compatibility when that specification is required.

Stainless Steel Construction

The live product information identifies the Femoral Aimer 6mm as manufactured from stainless steel. Its rigid construction is suited to the controlled manual positioning required of an orthopedic aiming instrument during arthroscopic knee procedures.

The exact stainless-steel grade is not provided in the current listing, so no specific alloy designation is claimed. Hospitals, distributors, or procurement teams requiring detailed material documentation should confirm the steel specification before purchase.

Reusable Orthopedic Instrument

The product information references standard orthopedic instrument sterilization protocols. As a reusable surgical instrument, the Femoral Aimer should be cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the healthcare facility's validated reprocessing procedures and applicable manufacturer instructions before clinical use.

The working end, guide surfaces, and handle should be inspected during reprocessing for visible contamination, deformation, wear, corrosion, or other changes that may affect instrument performance.
