Stryker 702443 Orthopedic 01.4mm Asnis Parallel Guide 6-1/2"

Stryker Asnis Parallel Guide | 1.4mm Gauge | 6.5" Overall Length | 702443 | Reusable

The Stryker 702443 is a high-precision orthopedic instrument from the Asnis™ Cannulated Screw System line, specifically engineered for the parallel placement of guide wires. Featuring 1.4mm guide apertures and a 6.5-inch (16.5 cm) length, this parallel guide allows the surgeon to establish a secondary trajectory perfectly offset from the initial wire. This is a critical mechanical requirement for stable multi-screw fixations, such as those used in femoral neck fractures or small-fragment articular reconstructions.

Constructed from medical-grade surgical stainless steel, the 702443 is designed to withstand the high-torque environment of orthopedic drilling while maintaining strict axial parallelism between the guide channels.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Precision 1.4mm Cannulation: The internal diameters are precision-honed to minimize "wire-slop." This ensures that the second guide wire remains perfectly parallel to the first, preventing screw divergence or convergence that can compromise fragment compression.

• Anatomical Offset Geometry: The fixed distance between the guide channels is calibrated to standard Asnis™ plating and screw-cluster requirements, allowing for predictable hardware spacing in narrow anatomical corridors like the femoral neck or calcaneus.

• High-Rigidity Stainless Steel: Forged to resist bending or bowing under manual pressure, the 702443 ensures that the guide wires do not deflect when engaging hard cortical bone at an angle.

• Ergonomic 6.5-Inch Profile: The mid-range length provides sufficient clearance for powered drivers and soft tissue protectors while remaining compact enough for use in minimally invasive (MIS) surgical approaches.

• Stryker Industrial Accuracy: As a core component of the Asnis™ system, this guide undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure that the "center-to-center" distance between apertures remains consistent across the entire Stryker instrument ecosystem.

Applications

• Hip & Pelvic Surgery: Parallel wire placement for Asnis™ cannulated screw fixation of femoral neck or acetabular fractures.

• Knee & Trauma Surgery: Alignment of lag screws for tibial plateau or distal femoral condyle reconstructions.

• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Precise stabilization of calcaneal or talar fractures where parallel compression is essential.

• General Orthopedics: Any procedure requiring the placement of multiple 1.4mm guide wires at a fixed, parallel distance.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument has been professionally inspected for channel patency and axial straightness. The 1.4mm apertures are clear and free of debris, and the stainless steel surfaces show standard signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs consistent with tray storage) but remain fully functional.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all specialized Stryker trauma tools are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective, padded packaging to ensure the precision 1.4mm channels and axial alignment remain in factory-standard condition during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
