Stryker 0242-200-001 Hip Arthroscopy Cannula 5.5mm

Stryker Hip Arthroscopy Cannula | Slotted | 5.5mm Diameter | 0242-200-001

The Stryker 0242-200-001 is a specialized high-flow access instrument engineered for the unique challenges of hip arthroscopy. Due to the deep nature of the hip joint and the thick soft tissue envelope (the "thigh") that must be traversed, this cannula features an extended 9-inch (230mm) shaft. This provides a stable, protected portal from the skin incision through the joint capsule, ensuring that instruments can be exchanged rapidly without losing the surgical tract.

The 5.5mm diameter is specifically calibrated to accommodate standard arthroscopic shavers, burrs, and probes, while the slotted distal design facilitates superior fluid irrigation and outflow, maintaining clear visualization even during high-debris procedures like labral debridement or acetabular rim trimming.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Stryker

• Model / REF: 0242-200-001

• Product Type: Slotted Hip Arthroscopy Cannula

• Shaft Diameter: 5.5 mm

• Shaft Length: 9 inches (230 mm)

• Material: Medical-Grade Stainless Steel (Shaft) / Ergonomic Polymer (Handle)

• Design: Slotted (Fenestrated Distal Tip)

• Sterility: Reusable (Requires sterilization)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Extended Reach for Hip Access: The 9-inch shaft length is essential for reaching the central and peripheral compartments of the hip joint, providing a clear corridor through the gluteal and capsular layers.

• Slotted Fluid Dynamics: The distal slots prevent "vacuum locking" of instruments and support constant irrigation. This is critical for washing out bone "mud" during cam or pincer lesion resections (femoroacetabular impingement - FAI).

• High-Strength Rigid Construction: Unlike flexible cannulas, the rigid stainless steel shaft resists bending under the significant soft-tissue tension characteristic of hip distraction, ensuring the portal remains patent throughout the procedure.

• Ergonomic "T-Grip" Handle: The integrated handle provides the surgeon with superior leverage for controlled capsular penetration and precise intra-articular positioning.

• Portal Integrity: By providing a fixed channel, the 0242-200-001 prevents "skiving" and repeated trauma to the soft tissues during instrument exchanges, which reduces post-operative swelling and pain.

Applications

• Sports Medicine: Primary and revision hip arthroscopy for labral repair or reconstruction.

• FAI Correction: Providing access for burrs during acetabular rim trimming and femoral neck osteoplasty.

• Diagnostic Arthroscopy: Facilitating visualization and biopsy of the ligamentum teres or synovial lining.

• Loose Body Removal: Creating a safe exit path for the retrieval of osteochondral fragments.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — In Good Condition.

• Integrity: The stainless steel shaft is perfectly straight with no burrs or nicks along the slotted edges. The handle-to-shaft connection is secure and free of play.

• Maintenance Requirement: As a reusable surgical instrument, this cannula must be processed through a validated decontamination and sterilization cycle (standard steam autoclave) in accordance with hospital protocols and Stryker’s Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical use in 2026.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in orthopedic hardware, Primis Medical ensures all arthroscopic access tools are inspected for mechanical and structural reliability.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in reinforced protective packaging to ensure the 9-inch shaft remains perfectly aligned and protected from transit shock.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
