A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to push a cartilage or bone graft into a position from which the graft can be delivered into a chondral defect [e.g., during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery]. This device is available i...

Orthopaedic graft guide

157 GUDID devices

A device used to protect a graft during delivery to the site of implantation. The graft is inserted into the device, which allows introduction and manoeuvring into difficult sites [e.g., during delivery into the tibial and femoral tunnel during anterior cru...

Orthopaedic graft inserter, reusable

104 GUDID devices

Ligament graft sizer, noninvasive

90 GUDID devices

A non-sterile surgical instrument that contains a series of holes of varying diameters intended to be used in orthopaedic surgery [e.g., in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery] to measure the diameter of a harvested graft to be implanted...

Graft preparation station

82 GUDID devices

A non-sterile assembly of devices designed to provide the operator with a workstation for the preparation and pretensioning of a graft prior to implantation. It typically consists of a work base to provide a stable platform on which the graft can be treated...

Ligament graft sizer, noninvasive

75 GUDID devices

A surgical instrument that contains a series of holes of varying dimensions/sizes intended to be used in orthopaedic surgery [e.g., in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery] to measure the size/diameter of a harvested graft to be implanted...

Tendon/ligament graft preparation station

49 GUDID devices

An assembly of devices designed to provide the operator with a workstation for the preparation and pretensioning of a ligament and/or tendon graft prior to implantation. It typically consists of a work base to provide a stable platform on which the graft ca...

Orthopaedic graft tensioner, reusable

29 GUDID devices

A hand-held, manual surgical instrument intended to be used during an open-surgery procedure [e.g., acromioclavicular joint repair, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction] to apply appropriate tension to a ligament graft/prosthesis, or flexible cor...

Bone tunnel plug, non-cannulated

22 GUDID devices

A device typically intended to prevent irrigation fluid from exiting the knee joint via the tibial tunnel [a channel drilled through the knee joint during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair] to maintain visualization of the joint during arthroscopy. Th...

Ligament prosthesis

19 GUDID devices

A sterile, implantable, non-bioabsorbable device intended to be used as a direct ligament substitute to replace a missing or damaged ligament for restoring natural function. It is made of synthetic polymer materials (e.g., polyester), and some types may in ...

Graft sizing block

18 GUDID devices

A non-sterile device designed for the determination of the graft size (e.g., a patellar tendon graft) taken from the patient to be used for an appropriate tunnel preparation and identify the tunnel size for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. I...

11 GUDID devices

Orthopaedic graft tensioner, single-use

3 GUDID devices

A sterile, hand-held, manual surgical instrument intended to be used during an open-surgery procedure [e.g., acromioclavicular joint repair, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction] to apply appropriate tension to a ligament graft/prosthesis, or fle...

Ligament graft sizer, invasive

2 GUDID devices

A sterile, invasive, surgical device intended to be used to measure the approximate length of graft (autograft or allograft) required to be harvested during an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair. It is typically in the form of a synthetic cord with adj...

Ligament graft, synthetic polymer

2 GUDID devices

An implantable, non-bioabsorbable device made of synthetic polymer materials (e.g., polyester) intended to be used to replace a missing or damaged ligament to restore natural function. Some types may in addition include a metal anchoring component (e.g., st...
