Arthrex Punch and Tap Instrument | Model AR-1927CTB | 5.5 mm Thread Caliber Matrix | For Corkscrew FT and SwiveLock Anchors | Reusable Manual Sports Medicine Orthopedic Bone Preparation Tool

The Arthrex AR-1927CTB is a professional-grade manual surgical instrument expertly engineered to punch and tap a precise pilot hole into dense cortical and cancellous bone beds during shoulder and hip reconstruction procedures. Optimized for use with 5.5 mm Corkscrew FT and SwiveLock threaded structural suture anchors, this tool combines a sharp distal bone punch with an integrated thread-cutting tap section. By performing two preparatory steps in a single insertion vector, it streamlines intraoperative workflows during rotator cuff repairs or labral reconstructions while preventing bone micro-fracturing and ensuring maximal thread purchase for the subsequent implant.
