ConMed SHUTT-Linvatec 11.1002 3.4mm Alligator Grasping Forceps Arthroscopy 9"

ConMed Shutt-Linvatec 11.1002 3.4mm Ratcheting Alligator Grasper

The ConMed Shutt 11.1002 is a high-utility arthroscopic instrument designed for maximum security when grasping tissue, sutures, or intra-articular fragments. Featuring a specialized alligator-style jaw, this grasper utilizes intermeshing serrations to "lock" onto targets, providing a non-slip grip that is essential during complex reconstructions or the retrieval of calcified loose bodies.

The 3.4 mm shaft offers a low-profile entry for minimally invasive access, while the 9-inch (22.9 cm) overall length ensures comfortable reach into the posterior compartments of the joint. Equipped with a Ratcheting Ring Handle, the 11.1002 allows the surgeon to maintain constant clamping pressure without continuous hand effort, significantly improving precision during multi-step arthroscopic maneuvers.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Enhanced Gripping Power: The alligator teeth are specifically engineered to bite into soft tissue or "slick" suture materials, preventing accidental release during tensioning.

• "Third-Hand" Functionality: The integrated ratchet allows the surgeon to lock the instrument onto a fragment, freeing them to adjust the arthroscope or swap secondary tools without losing the target.

• Small-to-Medium Joint Versatility: The 3.4 mm diameter is the "universal" size for arthroscopy, providing enough strength for knee work while remaining slim enough for ankle and elbow portals.

• Shutt Precision Engineering: Known for superior tactile "feel," this instrument allows for delicate feedback, ensuring the surgeon can differentiate between target tissue and sensitive cartilage.

Condition

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

• Functional Assessment: The ratcheting mechanism engages securely across all positions and releases cleanly. The alligator jaws are sharp, aligned, and free of significant tooth wear. The 3.4 mm shaft is straight.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including minor surface scuffs or 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 arthroscopy protocols prior to use.
