Conmed Tension Clamp PS8824
The Tension Clamp PS8824 is a dedicated accessory for graft-preparation systems, designed to securely hold a graft under tension during reconstructive procedures. It features clear calibration markings for both pounds and newtons to monitor applied load precisely. It integrates with the modular graft preparation platform to ensure consistent pre-tensioning of soft-tissue or bone-tendon grafts.
The Tension Clamp PS8824 allows surgeons to apply and maintain a defined tension level on grafts, improving reproducibility and construct quality in procedures like ACL or PCL reconstruction. With etched scale markings (up to 30 lbs / 120 N) for rapid visual reference, the clamp supports accurate presetting of graft load. Its robust build ensures stable fixation and prevents slippage during sizing, whip-stitching, and fixation steps. By enabling controlled pre-tensioning, this accessory enhances graft preparation workflow and may support better surgical outcomes.
