A tendon stripper is a surgical instrument used to carefully remove a section of tendon, ligament, or fascia to create a living graft for repair or reconstruction procedures. Clinically, it is employed in orthopedic surgeries where tissue needs to be harvested without damaging surrounding structures, such as in ACL or tendon repair operations.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel, and regulated as surgical instruments. Classification and supply vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to strict manufacturing and sterilization standards to ensure safety and efficacy in surgical settings.
