An orthopaedic implantation sleeve is a reusable, hand-held tubular tool used during surgical procedures to securely hold or grip orthopaedic implants like screws. It helps stabilize instruments—such as screwdrivers or smaller sleeves—while protecting the surgeon’s gloved hand and surrounding tissue, ensuring precise placement of hardware.
These sleeves are typically made from durable materials like stainless steel or synthetic polymers and come in various sizes to fit different implants. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their role in surgical precision and patient safety, often requiring compliance with reusable medical device standards.
