Arthrex AR-1936 Surgical Tissue Tak II Spear – 9"

The Arthrex AR-1936 is a high-performance guide instrument engineered for the exacting requirements of arthroscopic labral repair and shoulder reconstruction. Specifically designed for use with the Tissue Tak II anchor system, this spear provides the surgeon with a stable, repeatable pathway for anchor placement. Its robust design allows it to be used as a "pilot" to fix the surgical position on the bone before drilling, ensuring the suture anchor is placed at the optimal anatomical location.

With a 9-inch overall length, the AR-1936 offers the reach necessary to access difficult intra-articular sites through standard arthroscopic portals or cannulas. The instrument features a high-visibility, tapered tip for precise docking on the glenoid rim and an ergonomic handle that provides superior tactile feedback during bone engagement.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Precision Targeting: The spear acts as a rigid conduit, preventing "skating" or "walking" on the bone surface when initiating the pilot hole for suture anchors.

• Arthroscopic Versatility: The 9" shaft length is optimized for use within Arthrex surgical cannulas, facilitating a streamlined workflow in both shoulder and hip arthroscopy.

• Durable Construction: Built with the high standards of Arthrex sports medicine tools, this spear is designed to maintain its tip sharpness and shaft alignment through heavy clinical usage and repeated sterilization.
