Tissue Protector Sleeve For Cannulated Screws

Description

Tissue Protector Sleeve For Cannulated Screws

The tissue protector sleeve shields soft tissue during cannulated screw insertion. Its 7 mm size suits large cannulated screw systems.

Why protect tissue

Drills, taps and screws turning in a wound can catch muscle and tendons. Therefore a sleeve forms a barrier around them. As a result, damage to soft tissue drops.

Size

The sleeve is listed at 7 mm. That suits large cannulated screws, such as those used around the hip and ankle. Check your system before ordering.

Who uses a tissue protector sleeve

Trauma surgeons use it in hip and pelvic cannulated screw fixation. Also, foot and ankle surgeons use it in fusions. Additionally, it is a standard part of cannulated sets.

Using it through small incisions

Cannulated screws often go in through small incisions. Consequently, the sleeve keeps the path open and clear. Hold it firmly against bone.

Fit

Inner and outer sizes must match your system. Therefore confirm compatibility with us. We will check before shipping.
