Tendon Passer, Straight 6″

The Straight Tendon Passer 6″ is a specialized surgical instrument designed to assist with controlled passage and manipulation of tendon tissue during appropriate orthopedic, reconstructive, and soft-tissue procedures. Its straight configuration provides a direct working path, making it useful when a linear approach to the surgical site is preferred. Tendon passers are commonly used to guide, position, or retrieve tendon tissue through a selected pathway during tendon repair and reconstruction procedures. The straight design allows the surgeon to maintain a direct line of movement while working with the instrument. This can support controlled tissue handling and accurate positioning during procedures where tendon passage is required. With an overall length of 6 inches, this tendon passer provides a practical combination of reach and maneuverability. Its compact size can help the surgeon maintain good control during manipulation, particularly when working within a relatively limited operative field. The straight profile also allows for predictable positioning and straightforward advancement through the intended pathway. The Straight Tendon Passer may be incorporated into orthopedic, sports medicine, hand surgery, tendon repair, ligament reconstruction, and reconstructive procedure sets, depending on the specific surgical technique. Actual clinical use should always be determined by the qualified surgical professional based on the procedure, patient anatomy, and established surgical protocol. This type of surgical instrument is typically manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel or a comparable medical instrument material. The construction is intended to provide strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion during routine professional use. When supplied as a reusable instrument, the smooth surface also facilitates appropriate cleaning, inspection, and sterilization. After use, the tendon passer should be processed promptly to remove tissue and biological residue. Thorough cleaning, rinsing, and drying should be followed by careful inspection of the working portion and shaft. Sterilization should be performed using a validated method compatible with the instrument and according to the manufacturer’s instructions and healthcare facility protocols. The 6-inch Straight Tendon Passer is a practical addition to professional orthopedic and reconstructive surgical instrument sets. Its direct working profile, compact length, and durable construction support controlled tendon handling and make it suitable for procedures where a straight tendon-passing instrument is preferred.
