DePuy Synthes 294303000 OrthoTech Hamstring Tendon Harvester Orthopedic 12-1/2"

DePuy Synthes 294303000 12-1/2" OrthoTech Hamstring Tendon Harvester

The DePuy Synthes 294303000 is a specialized orthopedic instrument engineered for the efficient and safe procurement of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons. As a core component of the Mitek sports medicine line, the OrthoTech harvester is designed to minimize donor-site morbidity by allowing for a "closed" harvest through a minimally invasive incision. Its elongated 12-1/2 inch shaft and ergonomic handle provide the surgeon with the leverage and tactile feedback required to strip the tendon cleanly away from the muscle belly without damaging the graft's structural integrity.

The harvester's tip is specifically beveled to find the natural cleavage plane between the tendon and surrounding fascia. This reduces the risk of "lacerating" the tendon mid-harvest, ensuring the maximum possible graft length is obtained for high-strength ACL or PCL reconstructions. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is built to withstand the torque and repetitive sterilization cycles of a busy orthopedic trauma or sports medicine center.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: DePuy Synthes (Mitek)

• Model Number: 294303000

• System: OrthoTech

• Overall Length: 12-1/2 inches (318 mm)

• Material: Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel

• Application: Hamstring (Semitendinosus/Gracilis) Autograft Harvesting

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Atraumatic Graft Stripping: The smooth internal circumference of the harvesting head prevents "shredding" of the tendon fibers, preserving the graft's tensile strength for suspensory or interference fixation.

• Extended Reach: The 318 mm length is optimized to reach the proximal musculotendinous junction, ensuring a long, viable graft that can be tripled or quadrupled to meet diameter requirements.

• Ergonomic Control: The handle design is balanced for a stable, palm-grip maneuver, giving the surgeon better control when navigating the complex anatomy of the pes anserinus.

• Reduced Recovery Time: Facilitates a small-incision harvest, which is clinically proven to reduce post-operative hematoma and pain at the donor site.

Condition

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

• Functional Assessment: The harvesting tip is smooth and free of burrs or sharp nicks that could damage a graft. The shaft is straight and maintains full structural rigidity.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical usage, including surface scuffs, minor scratches, and typical sterilization-related patina. These are purely cosmetic and do not impact the mechanical performance or the atraumatic nature of the harvester.

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