Orthopedic Instruments Orthopedic Instruments (continued) Lateral Suture Instrumentation Supplied by: Veterinary Instrumentation • Crimps are available for all sizes of LigaFiba ® . Please note that only the LigaFiba ® Crimper is powerful enough for LigaFiba ® Crimps. • Cruciate needles are large. Most needleholders are designed for use with skin suture needles and will be damaged locking onto the bigger needle. It is cost effective to purchase a dedicated cruciate needle driver for your cruciate kit rather than keep replacing standard needleholders. The TC inserts ensure maximum lock on giving you control over the trickiest part of the procedure. • A standard lateral suture tensioner with ratchet. The device relies on the jaws pulling against crimps attached to the free ends of the loop. It is simple and effective but does require two extra crimps that are ultimately discarded. • A threaded suture anchor is machined into the tip of a 3mm trochar pin. Immediately proximal to the suture anchor is a narrow break off point. The construct is stable during axial drilling of the pin into bone and once in position with the hole of the anchor just above the surface of the bone the shaft of the pin is rocked to and fro. The stainless steel undergoes work hardening and becomes very brittle, ultimately breaking off leaving the anchor in position ready for placement of sutures up to 1.0mm in diameter. The suture anchor pin is extremely easy to position and place without pre-drilling.

SKU# MFR# DESCRIPTION PKG 046294 6730/10-BS 7.5 in, 3mm Bite Each Meniscus Probe Supplied by: Veterinary Instrumentation A Meniscus Probe/Nerve Hook is meant for better visualization of the caudal horns of the meniscus. Often the process of exposing the caudal horn can result in distortions. A normal meniscus can look damaged and occasionally a bucket handle tear can sit back and look normal. It is helpful to gently probe the meniscus to establish its true condition. Dimensions refer to length of tip. Use 1mm in dogs under 30kgs and for dogs over 30kg use 2mm.
