Arthrex AR-13960 Rotator Cuff Grasper 4.2mm Straight Shaft 9-7/8"

Arthrex AR-13960 4.2mm Rotator Cuff Tissue Grasper

The Arthrex AR-13960 is a premier orthopedic instrument designed for the demanding requirements of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Featuring a robust 4.2 mm straight shaft, this grasper provides the structural rigidity necessary to mobilize, reduce, and hold retracted tendons during suture passage and anchor placement.

The jaw geometry is specifically optimized for soft tissue; the wide, deep-toothed design ensures a secure, non-slip "dead-center" grip on the supraspinatus or infraspinatus tendons. Measuring 8-7/8 inches (22.5 cm), the AR-13960 offers excellent reach through standard shoulder portals, allowing the surgeon to manipulate tissue in the subacromial space with high tactile sensitivity and minimal hand fatigue.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• High-Tension Tendon Grip: The specialized tooth pattern is designed to "lock" into thick tendon fibers, providing the pull-strength required to reapproximate chronic, retracted cuff tears.

• Portal-Ready Profile: The 4.2 mm shaft fits seamlessly through standard 5 mm and 7 mm arthroscopy cannulas, ensuring smooth entry and exit without catching on portal valves.

• Ergonomic Tactile Feedback: Arthrex handles are world-renowned for their balanced weight and responsive spring action, allowing the surgeon to "feel" the tension of the tissue directly.

• Proven Sterilization Resilience: Constructed to withstand the high-temperature autoclaving and chemical disinfection cycles of a high-volume sports medicine center.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The hinge action is smooth and responsive. The grasping jaws exhibit perfect alignment and the teeth are sharp with no significant blunting. The 4.2 mm shaft is confirmed straight.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal surgical use, including minor surface scuffs and typical sterilization-related patina, but maintains full structural and functional integrity.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated shoulder arthroscopy protocols prior to use.
