Conmed 9″ Hewson Break-Away Pin, 2.4mm (.09375″) dia. (5 per Box) 9743D
The Hewson Break-Away Pin 2.4 mm (.09375″) × 9″ (9743D) is a high-strength guide pin used in orthopaedic tunnel preparation procedures. It features a 2.4 mm diameter and 9″ length to suit standard femoral/tibial access in ligament reconstruction. The pin is supplied in boxes of 5 and is designed to fracture intentionally (“break away”) at the proper depth.
This break-away guide pin provides the surgeon with a reliable, single-use instrument designed to cleanly separate from its driving shaft once the correct tunnel depth is reached, thereby preventing protrusion and reducing instrument retrieval time. The 2.4 mm diameter ensures compatibility with standard pin sleeves used in ACL/PCL guide systems, and the 9″ length accommodates typical femoral or tibial tunnel lengths. The engineered break-away feature helps maintain safe surgical margins, streamlining workflow and enhancing reproducibility of tunnel preparation. As part of the modular knee ligament instrumentation suite, this pin supports accurate trajectory and reduces the risk of malalignment or intraoperative correction.
