Medtronic 823-369 Combination Bender Orthopedic 11" Preowned

Medtronic 823-369 Combination Bender Orthopedic 11" Preowned

The Medtronic 823-369 is a heavy-duty, dual-purpose orthopedic instrument engineered for the intraoperative contouring of reconstructive plates and rods. Measuring 11 inches (27.9 cm) in length, this combination bender provides the significant mechanical advantage required to shape surgical-grade stainless steel and titanium implants to match the unique patient anatomy.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Medtronic
• Reference / model: 823-369
• Model: / REF: 823-369
• Overall Length: 11 Inches (27.9 cm)
• Material: Heavy-Duty Surgical Stainless Steel

Additional product details

• The "Combination" design typically features two distinct bending interfaces—often a "hook-and-roller" or "slotted-post" configuration—allowing the surgeon to perform both gradual anatomical curves and sharp offset bends using a single, high-leverage tool.
• Manufacturer: Medtronic (Sofamor Danek / Midas Rex)
• Product Type: Combination Plate/Rod Bender
• Operation: Manual High-Torque Lever
• Construction: Solid-core forging for maximum rigidity
• Cleaning: Fully Autoclavable / Reusable
• 11-Inch Extended Leverage: The elongated handle design translates manual effort into massive force at the bending head. This is critical when contouring 3.5mm or 4.5mm reconstruction plates or 6.0mm rods where precision is required without "slipping."
• Dual-Action Versatility: The combination head is designed to accommodate multiple implant geometries. This reduces the number of instruments on the sterile field and allows for rapid "on-the-fly" adjustments during complex fracture fixations.
• Cold-Symmetry Contouring: The contact surfaces are precision-machined to prevent "notching" or scratching of the implant surface. Preserving the structural integrity of the plate or rod is vital to preventing post-operative stress fractures or corrosion.
• Medtronic Industrial Durability: Built to withstand the high-torque environments of orthopedic trauma, the 823-369 maintains its alignment and pivot-point integrity through years of heavy clinical use.
• Orthopedic Trauma: Contouring of dynamic compression plates (DCP) and reconstruction plates for long-bone fractures.
• Spine Surgery: Precise bending of posterior rods for scoliosis or degenerative fixations.
• Pelvic & Acetabular Reconstruction: Shaping large, complex plates to fit the curved geometry of the pelvic brim.
• Oral & Maxillofacial: Heavy-duty mandibular plate contouring.
• Status: Used – Good Condition.
• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs consistent with tray storage), but it remains fully functional. The bending surfaces are free of burrs, and the 11-inch frame is perfectly straight with no structural fatigue.
