Conmed Alligator Grasper, Straight 11.1002
The Alligator Grasper Straight 11.1002 is an arthroscopic instrument designed with a straight shaft and toothed “alligator‐style” jaws for secure tissue grasping. It features a 3.4 mm diameter shaft and a length of 130 mm, suited for small‐joint or minimally invasive access. The ratcheting handle assists in maintaining grip without continuous manual pressure.
This instrument offers surgeons precise control in confined surgical fields thanks to its narrow 3.4 mm shaft and straight configuration, allowing for efficient access through arthroscopic portals. The toothed alligator jaws enhance grip on tissue or suture material while minimising slippage during manipulation or retrieval. Its ratchet mechanism locks the jaws securely, which aids in maintaining hold while the surgeon transitions or repositions instruments. Constructed for repeated sterilisation cycles and robust use, it is ideal for sports medicine, orthopaedic, and small joint arthroscopy applications.
