Conmed Implant 8mm Positioning Rod CPS-8908
The Implant 8 mm Positioning Rod CPS-8908 is a surgical guide rod used in the Pinn-ACL CrossPin system for ACL reconstruction. It is sized to match an 8 mm femoral tunnel and aligns with the U-Guide assembly. Surgeons use it to position and measure the transverse tunnel accurately within the femur.
This positioning rod is designed to slide over the graft passing guide pin and fit within the femoral tunnel to act as a reference axis for transverse tunnel alignment. It includes laser-etched depth marks to aid in measuring the femoral socket length and cortical thickness during surgery. In the Pinn-ACL workflow, it integrates with the U-Guide to help ensure the transverse implant will intersect the graft harness at the correct point. Proper use of this rod can reduce misalignment risk and improve consistency of femoral fixation in ACL reconstruction.
