Stifle Distractors

The Stifle Distractors provide excellent joint distraction and meniscal evaluation and can be used in both open procedures and intra-articularly during arthroscopy without iatrogenic damage of the articular cartilage. The narrow intra-articular shaft diameter and the curvature of the instruments allow for easy insertion without interference.
