DePuy Synthes 283906300 Confidence Spinal Cement System Mini Mallet & Needle Holder

• Model: 283906300 

The Medos 283906300 Confidence Spinal Cement System Mini Mallet & Needle Holder is a specialized, single-use surgical instrument designed to facilitate the precise delivery of Confidence Spinal Cement during minimally invasive spinal procedures like vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. This tool comprises two main components: a lightweight, radiolucent mini mallet and a needle holder. The mallet, weighing approximately 150 grams, is used to gently tap the needle into place, ensuring accurate positioning of the cement delivery system. The radiolucent handle is particularly beneficial, as it allows the physician to manipulate the needle while keeping their hands outside the direct fluoroscopy field, thereby enhancing safety and visibility during the procedure.

The needle holder is designed to securely grasp the needle, providing the surgeon with better control and stability during the insertion process. This is crucial for ensuring the correct placement of the needle into the vertebral body, which is essential for the effective delivery of the spinal cement. The combination of the mallet and needle holder streamlines the procedural workflow, reducing the need for multiple instruments and minimizing the risk of procedural complications.

While the Medos 283906300 Confidence Spinal Cement System Mini Mallet & Needle Holder is intended for use in human medical procedures, it's important to note that some units may be past their expiration dates. For instance, certain listings indicate expiration dates such as 10/20, 5/16, or 3/16. These expired units are typically sold for research or veterinary purposes only, as their sterility and functionality cannot be guaranteed beyond the expiration date. Therefore, it's essential for medical professionals to ensure that any units used are within their designated shelf life to maintain the highest standards of patient safety and procedural efficacy.
