Brand Tendon Seizing Instrument

Description

Brand Tendon Seizing Instrument

The Brand tendon seizing instrument grasps tendons and pulls them through tunnels during transfers. Three lengths cover finger, hand and forearm work.

A tendon transfer pioneer

Paul Brand was famous for tendon transfer surgery in the hand. Additionally, that work made tendon passers like this one essential. Furthermore, this pattern carries that legacy.

Three lengths

Choose 15, 18 or 23 cm. Moreover, the 15 cm version suits the palm and fingers. Meanwhile, the 23 cm version reaches across the forearm.

Who uses the Brand tendon seizing instrument

Hand teams rely on it for transfers after nerve injury. Likewise, foot and ankle teams use it to reroute tendons. It suits pediatric reconstruction too.

Passing a tendon

Pass the closed jaws through the tunnel first. Then open them, grasp the tendon end and pull back. Besides, the tendon follows the path of the instrument.

Choosing a length

Match the length to the tunnel. Consequently, short tunnels feel easier with the short version. Long tunnels need the 23 cm length.
