Conmed Microfracture Awl, 90° 8204
The Microfracture Awl 90° (8204) is an arthroscopic instrument designed for cartilage repair procedures in the hip or knee. It features a 90-degree angled tip to help reach deep or hard-to-access surfaces. The tool is part of a precision micro-fracture instrument line used to stimulate bone healing.
This Microfracture Awl 90° allows surgeons to execute micro-fracture techniques by creating controlled perforations in the sub-chondral bone beneath cartilage defects, thereby promoting healing and regeneration. The 90° tip angle significantly aids access in confined joint areas—such as the acetabulum, femoral head or posterior knee compartments—where straight or mildly angled instruments may struggle. Its design is intended to pair with standard arthroscopy cannulae and sets, supporting seamless integration into existing surgery workflows. As part of the instrumentation line from ConMed / Linvatec, it meets the typical demands for precision, reliability and surgeon control.
