Conmed PCL Guide Pin, Etched (5 per Box) C8729
The PCL Guide Pin, Etched (C8729) is a precision surgical guide pin used in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction procedures. It is designed with etched gradations for measurement and alignment guidance during drilling. The pin is sold in a box of 5 units and is part of the instrumentation system for the PCL guide platform.
This etched guide pin facilitates accurate tunnel preparation by providing measurement markings that help the surgeon monitor depth and position during the PCL guide procedure. With a shaft diameter of 2.4 mm and an overall length of 229 mm, it fits into the compatible guide sleeve systems to ensure consistent trajectory and cortical integrity. The etched design allows for reproducible placement and easy intra-operative verification of depth without relying solely on fluoroscopy or external gauges. As a standard component of the modular gait system, it aids in enhancing surgical workflow efficiency and reducing the risk of misdrilling or off-axis tunnel creation in PCL reconstructions.
