Hospital & Volume Procurement Pricing
The Intraarticular Tissue Grasper/Rongeurs are designed for controlled grasping and manipulation of tissue during intraarticular surgical procedures. The instruments can also be used to rongeur tissue, providing a combination of tissue-grasping and tissue-removal functionality.
The range includes multiple shaft lengths to accommodate different surgical access requirements. Standard-handle configurations are available with 5", 7", and 9" shaft lengths, while the 9" shaft configuration is also available with a locking ratchet handle.
Key Features
- Designed to securely grasp tissue
- Can also be used to rongeur tissue
- Intended for intraarticular surgical applications
- Multiple shaft lengths for different access requirements
- 5" (12.7 cm) shaft
- 7" (17.8 cm) shaft
- 9" (22.9 cm) shaft
- 9" shaft option available with a locking ratchet handle
- Overall lengths from 8" to 12" (20.3 to 30.5 cm)
Design and Configuration
The Intraarticular Tissue Grasper/Rongeurs feature an elongated shaft connected to a manually operated handle. The extended shaft allows the working end to reach into the operative field while the handle provides control of the grasping mechanism.
The range is available in different shaft lengths so the instrument can be selected according to the depth and access requirements of the procedure.
5" Shaft Configuration
The shortest configuration features a 5" (12.7 cm) shaft and an overall length of 8" (20.3 cm).
This configuration provides a more compact working reach for intraarticular applications where a shorter shaft is appropriate.
7" Shaft Configuration
The intermediate configuration features a 7" (17.8 cm) shaft and an overall length of 10" (25.4 cm).
It provides additional reach while maintaining the standard handle configuration.
9" Shaft Configuration
The longer standard configuration features a 9" (22.9 cm) shaft and an overall length of 12" (30.5 cm).
This version is intended for applications requiring additional working reach.
9" Shaft with Locking Ratchet Handle
A 9" (22.9 cm) shaft is also available with a locking ratchet handle. This configuration has an overall length of 12" (30.5 cm).
The ratcheting mechanism allows the selected grip to be maintained without requiring continuous manual pressure on the handles.
Tissue Grasping Function
The instruments are designed to securely grasp tissue during intraarticular procedures. The working mechanism allows the user to engage and manipulate tissue while maintaining control of the instrument.
The extended shaft options provide different working reaches, allowing selection according to the surgical access required.
Tissue Rongeur Function
In addition to tissue grasping, these instruments can be used to rongeur tissue. This provides an additional function for procedures where tissue needs to be grasped, manipulated, or removed.
The appropriate configuration should be selected according to the surgical technique and required working reach.
Shaft Length Options
The available shaft lengths provide a progression of working reach:
| Shaft Length | Overall Length | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| 5" (12.7 cm) | 8" (20.3 cm) | Standard Handle |
| 7" (17.8 cm) | 10" (25.4 cm) | Standard Handle |
| 9" (22.9 cm) | 12" (30.5 cm) | Standard Handle |
| 9" (22.9 cm) | 12" (30.5 cm) | Locking Ratchet Handle |
Intraarticular Applications
The Intraarticular Tissue Grasper/Rongeurs are intended to assist with:
- Tissue grasping
- Tissue manipulation
- Tissue removal
- Tissue rongeuring
- Intraarticular surgical procedures
- Procedures requiring an extended working shaft
The appropriate shaft length and handle configuration should be selected according to the surgical approach and required access.
Standard vs. Locking Ratchet Handle
The Standard Handle configurations allow direct manual control of the instrument.
The Locking Ratchet Handle configuration incorporates a ratcheting mechanism that can maintain the selected grip. This can be useful when maintaining tissue engagement is required during a procedure.

Handling and Use Considerations
Select the shaft length according to the required surgical access and working reach. For the locking ratchet configuration, ensure the ratchet is properly engaged when maintaining a selected grip.
Before use, inspect the jaws, shaft, handle mechanism, and ratchet where applicable. After use, follow the healthcare facility's established procedures for cleaning, inspection, sterilization, maintenance, and storage.
