Conmed Magnetic Retriever 9970
The Magnetic Retriever 9970 is a surgical instrument designed for the retrieval of ferrous metallic objects from the operative site. It uses magnetic attraction to collect loose metal fragments or instruments in arthroscopic or open procedures. This device helps maintain a clean surgical field and supports patient safety by removing stray metal debris.
This retriever enables the surgeon or circulating staff to efficiently recover ferrous metallic bodies — such as broken pins, screws, washers or other fragments — within the joint or around the surgical site. By employing magnetic attraction, it reduces the risk of leaving metal foreign bodies behind, which could lead to complications such as abrasion, irritation, or imaging artefacts. The 9970 model integrates with CONMED’s arthroscopy instrumentation and is crafted for repeated sterilisation and surgical use. Using this tool can enhance workflow and safety in ligament reconstruction, arthroscopy and other orthopaedic procedures.
