Description
The Synthes 389.473 Pedicle Marker is a precision orthopedic instrument designed for marking and confirming pedicle placement during spinal procedures.
This instrument features a thin, solid shaft with a smooth, blunt tip, allowing it to be inserted into prepared pedicle channels without cutting or enlarging the pathway. The shaft includes short graduated markings, which provide a visual reference for depth and positioning during intraoperative assessment.
The compact handle includes a flat, textured grip, enabling precise manipulation and strong tactile feedback. Its small size and narrow profile make it ideal for use in delicate spinal instrumentation procedures, particularly when verifying trajectory and depth prior to screw placement.
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is durable and compatible with repeated sterilization.
