The Graft Passing Pin (Beath Pin) Drill Tip (ZX24.009) is a long, slender pin with a specialized drill tip, designed to be used as the guide wire for forming both the tibial and femoral tunnels in ACL surgeries. The pin’s drill tip facilitates initial penetration, and its length (15 inches) and diameter (2.4 mm) are optimized for accurate tunnel placement and subsequent passing of the graft. The Graft Passing Pin is an indispensable instrument that ensures the final bone tunnels are precisely sized and located to accommodate the reconstruction graft and its fixation devices.
