11-1152-00 | Lead Hand
The 11-1152-00 Lead Hand is an adult-size support instrument used during tendon procedures
where consistent positioning and counter-pressure are required. Unlike a cutting or grasping
instrument, its primary role is to assist with stabilization while another member of the surgical
team performs the principal manipulation. This makes it a supporting instrument within a
specialized tendon set and a useful addition to broader orthopedic bone instruments collections.
The product page describes the Lead Hand as having an anatomically shaped handle intended
to support comfortable handling during procedures. The adult size is intended for standard
surgical applications, while the instrument’s design provides a stable point for maintaining tissue
position.
Its role can be understood through these features:
● Adult size: Intended for standard adult surgical applications within appropriate tendon
procedures.
● Support function: Provides counter-pressure and stabilization rather than acting as a
primary cutting instrument.
● Anatomically shaped handle: Gives the assistant a defined area for maintaining
control during the procedure.
● Tendon procedure application: Supports situations where consistent tissue positioning
is important.
● Complementary design: Can be used alongside tendon forceps, retrievers, and
strippers as part of a procedure-specific tray.
Good surgical instrumentation is not limited to the instruments performing the main action.
Supporting tools can influence how consistently tissue is positioned while the surgeon works.
The lead hand fills that supporting role within tendon surgery.
For facilities performing tendon repair and reconstruction, the 11-1152-00 provides a dedicated
adult-size stabilization instrument. Add it to your specialized orthopedic inventory.
