Conmed 1.5 Percutaneous Piston SN1520-031
The 1.5 mm Percutaneous Piston SN1520-031 is a precision instrument designed for use in minimally invasive orthopaedic procedures using the 1.5 mm system. It is part of the instrument set for the smart implant insertion process and interfaces with the handle and housing for percutaneous placement. The blue-coded piston ensures correct diameter match and reliable seating of the implant.
This piston is engineered to drive the implant tip into position with controlled force during percutaneous fixation of non-load-bearing bone fragments or osteochondral lesions. It integrates seamlessly into the housing and handle assembly, allowing surgeons to apply gentle tapping to seat the implant flush beneath the tissue surface. The design ensures minimal soft-tissue disruption while maintaining precise depth control in a compact diameter system. Its blue coding helps the surgical team quickly identify the 1.5 mm size variant and reduce instrument confusion.
