Conmed PCL Guide Arm (for use with 8731) C8732
The PCL Guide Arm C8732 is a surgical instrument designed for use with the 8731 guide system in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. It attaches to the guide assembly to facilitate proper alignment of the PCL drill pin or reamer. It supports reproducible placement of the femoral/tibial guide relative to the PCL footprint.
This guide arm is part of the modular knee-guide instrumentation system and specifically interfaces with the 8731 PCL guide jig. By offering stable and accurate fixation of the guide arm, the instrument ensures consistent orientation of the drill guide and helps maintain back-wall and cortical integrity during PCL femoral or tibial tunnel preparation. The rigid arm provides a reliable base for the surgeon to align the drill path, thereby enhancing precision and surgical workflow. Using this component supports optimal graft placement, improved tunnel trajectory and potential reduction in malalignment or intraoperative error.
