A veterinary ACL/PCL reconstruction kit is a complete set of surgical instruments designed to help veterinary surgeons perform anterior and posterior cruciate ligament repair, knee (stifle) reconstruction, and related orthopedic arthroscopy procedures in dogs and cats. This aluminium-cased instrument set includes locators, guides, bone files, depth probes, and a full range of cannulated drill bits, giving practices everything needed to plan and execute cruciate ligament surgery from a single kit.
What Is This ACL/PCL Veterinary Instrument Kit Used For?
This set is built for canine and feline knee (stifle) orthopedic surgery, specifically procedures involving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Veterinary orthopedic surgeons use it to:
- Locate anatomical landmarks for tibial and femoral tunnel placement
- Measure and gauge bone depth before drilling
- Prepare and shape bone surfaces with straight and curved bone files
- Extract and measure tendon grafts for ligament reconstruction
- Drill precise, cannulated tunnels through the tibia and femur
- Support minimally invasive knee arthroscopy workflows in pets
