Arthrex AR-1005 Staple Driver Orthopedic 9-3/4"

Arthrex AR-1005 9-3/4" Orthopedic Staple Driver

The Arthrex AR-1005 is a heavy-duty manual driver engineered for the precise implantation of ligament and bone staples. Measuring 9-3/4 inches (24.8 cm), this instrument is designed to bridge the gap between the surgical incision and the bone surface, providing a stable platform for staple seating in deep-cavity procedures such as knee ligament reconstructions (ACL/PCL), ankle fusions, and multi-ligament repairs.

The tip of the AR-1005 is specifically machined to mate with the bridge of Arthrex-series staples, preventing "toggle" or slippage during the driving process. Constructed from a single block of high-impact surgical stainless steel, the driver effectively transmits mallet force directly to the staple tines, ensuring a flush, cortical-level finish that is critical for long-term patient comfort and hardware stability.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Flush-Seating Precision: The driver’s tip geometry ensures the staple bridge is driven even with the bone surface, minimizing the profile of the hardware and reducing post-operative soft-tissue impingement.

• Impact Efficiency: The solid-core stainless steel construction prevents energy loss during mallet strikes, requiring fewer hits to achieve full staple seating.

• Extended Visualization: The nearly 10-inch length keeps the surgeon's hand and the mallet clear of the operative site, allowing for better light penetration and visibility under a headlight or scope.

• Exceptional Durability: Built to withstand repeated heavy-impact use and high-temperature autoclaving without deforming the driving tip or the striking anvil.

Condition

• Status: Limited Use – Excellent Condition.

• Quality Assessment: This instrument is in nearly pristine condition, showing signs of "New-Old-Stock" status or extremely minimal prior use. The driving tip is square and sharp, and the anvil shows no "mushrooming" from mallet strikes.
