Steinmann Tendon Seizing Instrument

Description

Steinmann Tendon Seizing Instrument

The Steinmann tendon seizing instrument grasps and holds tendons during repair and grafting. At 15 cm, it suits hand and foot work.

A familiar orthopedic name

Fritz Steinmann is best known for the Steinmann pin. However, several other tools carry the name. Besides, this forceps is one of them.

Grip and size

The jaws hold tendon ends securely. Meanwhile, the 15 cm length keeps control precise. Therefore it suits small tendons in the hand and foot.

Who uses the Steinmann tendon seizing instrument

Small tendon repairs in the hand are its usual job. Also, toe tendon procedures suit its size. It suits pediatric tendon work too.

Technique

Grasp the tendon near its cut end. Then hold it while sutures pass through. Release gently to avoid fraying.

Fitting into a set

Many hand trays carry a short and a long tendon instrument. Consequently, this 15 cm version fills the short slot. It pairs with longer passers.
