An orthopaedic graft tensioner, reusable is a hand-held surgical instrument used during open procedures such as ACL reconstruction or acromioclavicular joint repair to apply controlled tension to a ligament graft or flexible cord after one end is secured. It helps remove slack and position the graft properly for implantation and may also tension auxiliary tools like graft sizers or gauges used in the same procedure.
This device is typically constructed of metal with a shaft and distal prongs designed for manual operation and is intended for reuse after appropriate cleaning and sterilization. As a reusable instrument, it falls under regulatory requirements for reprocessing and is supplied as a non-sterile, durable tool meant for multiple uses in surgical settings.
