11-1146-15 | Tendon Tunneling Forceps
When tendon procedures require additional reach, the 11-1146-15 Tendon Tunneling Forceps
provides a 15 cm (6 inch) configuration for access beyond the immediate working area. The
longer format distinguishes this model from shorter tunneling forceps and can be useful when
the surgical site or technique calls for additional instrument length. It is part of Next Edge
Surgical’s tendon stripper range and complements specialized bone surgical instruments used in orthopedic and reconstructive settings.
The product page describes the working end as smoothly curved, supporting controlled access
and tissue handling during tendon tunnel procedures. A longer shaft can help the operator reach
deeper areas while keeping the hand farther from the immediate operative site.
Notable points include:
● 15 cm length: Provides additional reach for procedures involving deeper or less
accessible anatomical areas.
● Curved working end: Facilitates access where a straight approach may be less
convenient.
● Tendon tunneling application: Supports procedures involving tendon repair, grafting,
and reconstruction.
● Extended format: Gives surgical teams an alternative to shorter tunneling forceps when
additional reach is required.
● Specialized role: Works alongside tendon strippers and retrievers within a dedicated
tendon procedure set.
Instrument length is an important consideration when building a procedure-specific tray. A
longer forceps should not simply replace a shorter model, because the preferred working length
depends on the anatomy, surgical approach, and operator technique.
The 11-1146-15 gives orthopedic teams a practical longer-format option for tendon tunneling
and manipulation. Add this 15 cm forceps to your specialized surgical inventory.
