Product Overview
Designed specifically for microfracture resurfacing procedures within articular joints, the Chondro Pick 9" is designed to penetrate the dense subchondral bone plate to stimulate fibrocartilage growth. By creating precise, controlled micro-holes, it allows marrow-derived stem cells, growth factors, and healing elements to form a rich blood clot over localized cartilage defects. The instrument features an ergonomic, autoclavable silicone handle that ensures a secure, slip-resistant grip even when saturated with arthroscopic fluid.
Key Features:
• 9-Inch (23cm) Streamlined Frame: Optimized for deep, comfortable access inside both open and arthroscopic joint cavities.
• Graduated Angled Tips: Available in multiple angular configurations to easily reach difficult posterior condyle and patellar surfaces.
• Ergonomic Silicone Handle: Provides an exceptionally secure, high-tactile grip that minimizes hand fatigue and absorbs mallet impact forces.
• German Stainless Steel: Forged for extreme structural rigidity to resist bending or tip deformation during repeated impactions.
Uses & Applications:
• Knee Microfracture Procedures: Punches holes into exposed bone defects on the femoral condyle or tibial plateau to treat focal cartilage lesions.
• Ankle & Shoulder Resurfacing: Navigates tight talar or glenohumeral joints to stimulate marrow flow in localized osteochondral defects (OCD).
• Articular Debridement Support: Complements mechanical shaving by prepping the sclerotic bone bed for optimal biological repair.
