Conmed Bone Tunnel Plug w/Obturator C8778
The Bone Tunnel Plug w/Obturator (C8778) is a cannulated plug accessory designed for use during arthroscopic ligament reconstruction to seal the bone tunnel. It features an obturator for controlled insertion and helps maintain portal integrity and manage fluid loss. It integrates with the modular knee instrument system of ConMed for femoral or tibial tunnel work.
This device is intended to control fluid loss from the surgical site while providing a sealed instrument portal through the bone tunnel, thereby improving surgeon control during arthroscopy. The plug component fits into the prepared tunnel and the obturator enables smooth insertion and proper seating without residual fluid egress. Its cannulated design allows use of guide wires or other instrumentation through the lumen if needed. Proper application supports efficient workflow, reduced fluid extravasation, and improved procedural reproducibility in ACL/PCL or other ligament reconstructions.
