Conmed Retrograde Blade Knife (4 per Box, Sterile) 9974
The Retrograde Blade Knife (catalog no. 9974) is a curved cutting blade supplied sterile and boxed in sets of four. It is designed for retrograde (backward-facing) cutting access in arthroscopic soft-tissue and bone procedures. The single-use, sterile packaging supports efficient operating room workflow.
The Retrograde Blade Knife 9974 features a specially designed cutting edge oriented for retrograde (reverse direction) insertion, enabling access in anatomical zones where conventional forward-facing blades struggle. Its geometry allows surgeons to resect or release tissue from behind or around structures with controlled precision, enhancing access in tight joint portals. The sterile packaging (4 blades per box) ensures that spare blades are readily available for procedural efficiency and infection-control compliance. This blade complements arthroscopic sets by offering an alternative directional cut option that can reduce instrument exchanges and enhance procedural ergonomics.
