ABSTRACT:
A scissor-like device is described which can be used to measure the diameter of a tendon graft or bone plug. The device can also be used to hold a tendon graft or bone plug in a fixed position while multiple sutures are inserted in the end thereof. The device includes a pair of arms which are hinged at the proximal end. The inner surface of each arm includes a series of semicircular sizing sleeves which mate with one another to form a series of cylindrical sleeves of increasing diameter. A tendon graft or bone plug can be placed in the series of sleeves to determine the proper diameter of the graft or plug. Various measuring indicia are provided along the arms of the device to provide an indication of both the diameter and length of tendon tissue to be measured.
