Conmed Extended Length Raven 35° Up GU1008EL
This is an extended‑length suture retriever from the Raven line, model GU1008EL, featuring a 35° upward angle tip designed for arthroscopic access. It has a 3.5 mm outer diameter and 210 mm working length. It is intended for use in demanding joint procedures where this angled reach improves access.
The GU1008EL offers enhanced reach and angled tip geometry for accessing deeper or angled portals in arthroscopic surgery, such as hip preservation work. The 35° upward‑angled tip allows the surgeon to reach over anatomical curves or around bone contours that a straight instrument may struggle with. With a 3.5 mm diameter and a 210 mm extended‑length shaft, the instrument maintains control and precision while reaching farther. It is compatible with the instrumentation sets from its manufacturer and supports efficient suture retrieval in constrained joint spaces.
