Conmed PCL Pin-Sleeve C8728
The PCL Pin-Sleeve C8728 is a surgical accessory component used in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction instrumentation. It serves as a sleeve for the PCL guide pin to control drill/reamer alignment. The component is designed to work with the PCL guide system from ConMed / Linvatec.
This pin-sleeve is intended to fit over the PCL guide pin during femoral or tibial tunnel preparation, helping maintain alignment and protecting surrounding tissues and cortical bone. It ensures consistent positioning of the drill path by stabilising the guide pin in the jig or guide arm assembly. The use of a dedicated sleeve enhances surgical precision by reducing pin wobble or inadvertent drift during drilling. By integrating into the PCL guide system workflow, this sleeve contributes to reproducible tunnel placement and may reduce the risk of mal-trajectory or tunnel misalignment.
