Conmed Microfracture Awl, 45°, Thin Shaft, 279mm length 8202
The Microfracture Awl 45° Thin Shaft 279 mm (8202) is a surgical instrument designed for arthroscopic cartilage repair techniques. It features a 45-degree angled tip and a long, thin shaft to reach deep or constrained joint areas. It is used in microfracture procedures to stimulate cartilage regeneration via bone marrow exposure.
This Microfracture Awl allows the surgeon to access challenging anatomical joint zones—such as deep portions of the hip or knee—with improved reach and precision thanks to its 279 mm length and thin shaft design. The 45-degree angled tip helps in positioning the shaft through arthroscopic portals and aligning the awl for optimal entry into the bone surface. Its fine-shaft construction minimizes soft-tissue disruption and allows better maneuverability within confined joint spaces while enabling controlled bone penetration to promote cartilage repair. Designed for integration into arthroscopy instrument sets, it assists in preparing defect surfaces and stimulating sub-chondral bleeding to support healing.
