Conmed Open Loop Tendon Stripper (6.6mm diameter opening) TS8865
The Open Loop Tendon Stripper TS8865 features a 6.6 mm diameter opening and is designed for harvesting the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons. It uses an open-loop “hook” style tip to engage tendons without pre-whip-stitching. It is intended for use in ligament reconstruction procedures (e.g., ACL/PCL) and is part of the graft-harvest instrument line.
This Open Loop Tendon Stripper (6.6 mm opening) enables efficient harvesting of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons by allowing direct engagement of the tendon at the tibial insertion without first detaching or whip-stitching. The open loop design reduces procedural steps and supports faster tendon retrieval in knee ligament reconstruction workflows. With a 6.6 mm opening size the instrument aligns with typical graft diameters used in ACL/PCL reconstructions, helping to preserve surrounding tissue and optimize graft integrity. It integrates into existing arthroscopy/graft-harvest trays and sterilisation protocols to support orthopaedic surgical efficiency and reproducibility.
