Tendon Stripper Closed End 7mm

The Tendon Stripper Closed End 7mm is an orthopedic surgical instrument designed for tendon harvesting procedures where a dedicated closed-end stripper is required. The instrument features a 7 mm working size and stainless-steel construction, providing surgeons and procurement teams with a clearly identified option for orthopedic and tendon-related surgical instrument sets.

The closed-end configuration is designed for controlled advancement along the tendon during harvesting. Its defined 7 mm size helps distinguish this model when selecting or replacing a tendon stripper within an established orthopedic instrument inventory.

Closed-End Tendon Stripper Design

This instrument uses a closed-end configuration, differentiating it from open-end tendon strippers used in other harvesting techniques. The working end is intended to engage the tendon during the stripping process as the surgeon advances the instrument according to the selected surgical approach.

Closed-end and open-end tendon strippers are not interchangeable in every procedure. The required design should therefore be selected according to surgeon preference, tendon-harvesting technique, and the procedural requirements of the orthopedic case.

7 mm Working Size

The product is specifically identified as a 7 mm tendon stripper. This numerical specification provides an important reference when matching the instrument with an existing tendon-harvesting set or when a surgeon requests a particular stripper diameter.

The current product page does not state the overall instrument length or additional working-end dimensions. Buyers requiring those measurements for tray standardization or surgeon preference should confirm them before ordering.

Stainless Steel Construction

The live product information identifies the Tendon Stripper Closed End 7mm as manufactured from stainless steel. This provides the rigid construction required for a manual orthopedic instrument used during tendon harvesting procedures.

The exact stainless-steel grade is not specified on the current product page. For procurement processes that require a specific alloy designation or material certificate, that information should be confirmed separately before purchase.

Tendon Harvesting Applications

The instrument is intended for tendon harvesting within orthopedic surgical practice. Tendon strippers may form part of instrument setups used when a tendon graft must be prepared according to the surgeon's planned reconstructive technique.

The current product information does not assign this exact 7 mm model to one specific tendon, ligament reconstruction procedure, or harvesting protocol. For that reason, instrument selection should be determined by the operating surgeon based on the required graft, technique, anatomy, and procedural plan.

Reusable and Autoclave-Compatible

The current product page provides cleaning guidance and states that the instrument can be sterilized according to standard autoclave procedures. This supports its use as a reusable orthopedic surgical instrument when appropriately cleaned, inspected, and sterilized between procedures.

Before reprocessing, visible contamination should be removed and the instrument should be inspected for changes that could affect function. Healthcare facilities should follow their validated cleaning and sterilization procedures together with applicable manufacturer instructions.
