Expert® – ACL/PCL
The Expert® – ACL/PCL Instrument Set is a comprehensive modular system specifically engineered for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction procedures. It provides surgeons with precise, reproducible, and reliable instrumentation to support advanced surgical techniques, ensuring anatomical tunnel placement, stable graft fixation, and optimal functional outcomes.
Core Instrumentation
- Anatomic Drill Guides
-
-
Specialized tibial and femoral guides designed to achieve accurate tunnel positioning in accordance with anatomical landmarks.
-
Equipped with locking mechanisms to stabilize the guidewire trajectory, minimizing intraoperative variability.
-
-
- Cannulated Drills and Reamers
-
-
Available in incremental diameters, typically ranging from 5 mm to 12 mm, to accommodate graft sizes.
-
Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel, with laser-etched depth markings for intraoperative accuracy.
-
-
- Guidewires and Pins
-
-
High-strength, smooth-surface wires engineered for safe passage through cortical bone without deformation.
-
Provide the initial trajectory for reaming while maintaining mechanical integrity.
-
-
- Tapered Dilators and Progressive Reamers
-
-
Facilitate controlled tunnel enlargement, reducing cortical stress and microfracture risk.
-
Ensure a gradual transition tailored to various graft types, including hamstring autografts and bone–tendon–bone (BTB) grafts.
-
-
- Measuring and Tensioning Devices
-
-
Calibrated instruments for precise measurement of tunnel length and graft loop dimensions.
-
Tensioning devices provide reproducible intraoperative assessment of graft stability prior to fixation.
-
-
- Graft Passing and Shuttle Devices
-
-
Suture passers and pulling instruments designed for efficient graft advancement through tibial and femoral tunnels.
-
Fully compatible with high-strength UHMWPE sutures and cortical suspensory fixation systems such as the ArthroButton®.
-
-
- Accessory Tools for Fixation and Adaptation
-
- Includes impactors, mallets, forceps, and fixation aids.
- Engineered for repeated use under sterilization cycles with high durability and minimal mechanical wear.
-
