A tendon/ligament tunneller is a hand-held surgical instrument used to create a passage through soft tissue, such as tendon or ligament, to allow for the placement of grafts or sutures during reconstructive procedures. It is manually operated and designed to guide instruments or materials through anatomical pathways with precision.
This category of device is typically supplied as a reusable instrument made from high-grade stainless steel and is intended for manual use in surgical settings. Regulation of such instruments is based on their reusable nature and surgical function, with classification determined by jurisdiction-specific rules for non-powered, hand-held surgical tools.
