Stryker 0242-200-002 Hip Arthroscopy Cannula 6.5mm

Stryker Hip Arthroscopy Cannula | Slotted | 6.5mm Diameter | 0242-200-002

The Stryker 0242-200-002 is a high-capacity access instrument specifically engineered for the unique anatomical challenges of hip arthroscopy. Due to the significant soft-tissue depth of the hip joint, this cannula features an extended 9-inch (230mm) shaft, ensuring a stable and protected portal from the skin through the thick gluteal musculature and joint capsule.

At 6.5mm in diameter, this cannula is the "workhorse" of the Stryker hip system, providing a wider lumen than the 5.5mm variant. This extra clearance is essential for the smooth passage of larger arthroscopic tools, such as high-speed burrs, tissue anchors, and specialized suture passers, while the slotted distal design ensures superior fluid outflow and visualization during intensive bone-shaving procedures.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Stryker

• Model / REF: 0242-200-002

• Product Type: Slotted Hip Arthroscopy Cannula

• Shaft Diameter: 6.5 mm (Large Bore)

• Shaft Length: 9 inches (230 mm)

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

• Design: Slotted (Fenestrated Distal Tip)

• Sterility: Reusable (Requires sterilization)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Extended Reach for Deep Access: The 9-inch shaft provides a consistent, non-collapsible corridor through the "thigh" envelope, allowing for rapid instrument exchanges without risking tract loss or accidental tissue interposition.

• Optimized 6.5mm Lumen: Specifically sized to prevent "instrument binding." The 6.5mm diameter allows for greater maneuverability of 5.0mm and 5.5mm shavers and burrs, providing an auxiliary "bypass" for fluid even when an instrument is present.

• Slotted Fluid Dynamics: The distal slots are engineered to prevent "vacuum-lock" against the acetabular labrum or capsule. This maintains constant irrigation flow, which is critical for clear visualization when resecting cam or pincer lesions (FAI).

• Rigid Structural Integrity: Forged from high-tensile stainless steel, the shaft resists the bending forces exerted by hip distraction and thick capsular tissue, maintaining a perfectly straight trajectory for delicate arthroscopic optics.

• Ergonomic Control: The integrated handle provides the surgeon with the necessary leverage for controlled capsular penetration and precise intra-articular pivoting.

Applications

• Sports Medicine: Complex labral repairs, labral reconstructions, and psoas tendon releases.

• FAI (Femoroacetabular Impingement) Surgery: Primary portal for acetabular rim trimming and femoral neck osteoplasty where large-diameter burrs are utilized.

• Synovectomy & Debridement: High-volume fluid management for clear visualization of the peripheral and central compartments.

• Suture Management: Facilitating the passage of multiple suture limbs without tangling or friction against the portal walls.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — In Good Condition.

• Integrity: The 6.5mm stainless steel shaft is straight, and the internal lumen is free of obstructions. The distal slots are smooth and free of burrs that could damage soft tissue or surgical gloves.

• 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 preserve the 9-inch shaft alignment and the integrity of the slotted tip.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
