Meftah PCL Protector
Morteza Meftah, MD
Designed to help protect the posterior cruciate ligament in cruciate retaining total knee surgery during the proximal tibial cut
The PCL Protector can be used efficiently right before the tibial cut. It is curved distally so that it can put over the PCL from the top/posterior side and with a few taps, the fanned blade can get around the PCL and into the bone (not more than 5 mm) and “cover” the PCL. The protector is left in place until the tibial cut is made with a saw, which would hit the protector instead of the PCL if it gets too close.

Accuracy Statement for devices with a measuring function: Devices with a measuring function are considered non-critical, non-calibrated, and are intended for reference-only measurements. While it provides a helpful visual guide for relative measurements, it is not calibrated to specific precision standards. Measurements taken with this device should not be considered accurate enough for critical applications requiring strict dimensional tolerances. General manufacturing tolerances of +\- 1% at each graduation, or 2% of the full scale apply, but no conformance qualifications are provided or implied.
