Linvatec Circular Rasp + Cortical Punch Instrument Set with V. Meuller Case

Linvatec Orthopedic Tunnel Prep Set | Rasps & Punches | V. Mueller Case

The Linvatec circular rasp and cortical punch system is a foundational set for orthopedic reconstruction, specifically engineered for the 2026 standards of ACL, PCL, and specialized small-joint procedures. This set provides the surgeon with the precise tools required to contour bone tunnels and prepare the cortical entry/exit points for seamless graft passage and stable fixation.

Housed in a premium V. Mueller sterilization case, this set is organized into Small, Medium, and Large configurations, ensuring that the clinician has the appropriate diameter for various patient anatomies and graft sizes.

Key Performance Features

• Precision Circular Rasps (6x.1002 Series): Designed with multi-directional teeth to "smooth" and standardize the interior of drilled bone tunnels. This process removes bone debris and irregular ridges, significantly reducing the friction (and potential for damage) during graft pull-through.

• Cortical Gauge Punches (6x.2001 Series): Engineered to "champfer" or smooth the cortical edge of the tunnel. By creating a slightly beveled entry point, these punches minimize the risk of the "wiper-blade" effect, protecting the graft from sharp bone edges at the tunnel aperture.

• Size-Matched Logic: The set includes Small (61), Medium (62), and Large (63) variants. This gradient allows the surgical team to match the instrumentation exactly to the graft diameter, ensuring a high-tolerance "press-fit" where required.

• High-Tensile Stainless Steel: Forged to maintain sharpness through repeated use in dense cortical bone, while offering the corrosion resistance necessary for modern, high-turnover sterile processing environments.

• Ergonomic Hand-Piece Design: Each instrument features a robust, textured handle designed for a secure grip even in the presence of surgical fluids, providing maximum tactile feedback during tunnel preparation.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Improved Graft Viability: By smoothing the bone-to-graft interface, these tools reduce the risk of mechanical abrasion on the delicate collagen fibers of the autograft or allograft.

• Enhanced OR Efficiency: Having a pre-configured Small/Medium/Large set in a dedicated V. Mueller case simplifies the setup for the scrub technician and ensures rapid transitions between sizes during the procedure.

• V. Mueller Case Integrity: The included case provides superior protection for the fine cutting teeth of the rasps, preventing "pecking" or dulling during transport and sterilization.

• Strategic Procurement: Acquiring this "Excellent Condition" Linvatec set provides a high-tier orthopedic suite at a significant reduction in capital expenditure compared to buying individual components from a manufacturer's catalog.

Ideal Applications

• Knee Ligament Reconstruction: Finalizing tibial and femoral tunnels in ACL/PCL surgery.

• Shoulder Arthroplasty: Preparing bone surfaces for specialized anchors or grafts.

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Refining tunnels for tendon transfers.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Mechanical Integrity: The teeth on all three circular rasps remain sharp and effective. The cortical punches show no signs of deforming at the distal tips.

• Surface Condition: Clean stainless steel with no pitting or oxidation; all laser-etched model numbers are clear and legible.

• Note to SPD: This set is provided non-sterile. Due to the fine serrations on the rasps, ultrasonic cleaning is highly recommended to ensure all bioburden is removed from the teeth prior to the validated steam autoclave cycle.
