Used Surgical Instruments - Signs of Use, Usable Condition (USED-SI):

These surgical instruments have been previously used and show visible signs of wear consistent with their prior usage. Despite these signs, they remain in a usable condition, suitable for continued medical procedures.

The Synthes 319.70 is a cannulated measuring device, purpose-built for determining the optimal length of 6.5 mm and 7.3 mm cannulated screws during orthopedic fixation procedures. It measures approximately 11 inches in length, featuring a tapered cannulated tip that smoothly advances over the guide wire to provide precise depth assessment. The instrument appears regularly in Synthes cannulated screw systems and technique guides as the go‑to tool for accurate screw sizing.

Engineered with a slender, cannulated shaft, the 319.70 ensures accurate alignment by riding directly over the guide wire, thereby minimizing measurement errors and facilitating precise screw placement. This tool is particularly vital after inserting the protection sleeve and before final screw insertion—it helps determine the exact screw length required to reach the wire tip, while allowing surgeons to account for potential compression effects or countersinking proactively.
