Reprocessing and Care

As catalogued reusable surgical instruments, the articles in this listing are intended to be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized in accordance with the manufacturer's reprocessing instructions and the institution's validated reprocessing procedures before first use and between uses. Graduations and scales should be inspected for legibility during routine inspection, and instruments with damaged or illegible scales should be withdrawn from service in line with departmental policy. Detailed, article-specific reprocessing guidance is provided by the manufacturer and should always take precedence.

Ordering and Quotation

The Tendinous Cords Ruler is supplied as a single catalogued configuration under the article number listed in the technical specifications. This platform operates on a request-for-quotation basis for hospitals, surgical centers, procurement teams, distributors and dealers: quote the article number when submitting an inquiry to receive a formal quotation, delivery information and any additional documentation required by your institution.

Source and Traceability

This listing is derived directly from the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, chapter AA/AD Instruments for Measuring (Messinstrumente), page 21. All names, article numbers, dimensions, graduations and pattern designations are reproduced as printed in the source catalog; values not stated in the catalog are deliberately omitted rather than estimated. Bilingual German designations are retained where they aid identification, since many procurement systems and legacy inventories reference the German catalog terms. Where an eponymous pattern name applies, it identifies the catalogued instrument pattern and serves as the standard identifier used by procurement teams, sterile-processing departments and distributors when specifying this instrument.

Within the Instruments for Measuring chapter, the Tendinous Cords Ruler is catalogued alongside rulers, calipers, goniometers, pelvimeters and marking instruments; its subcategory assignment (Rulers) reflects the printed catalog grouping and is preserved throughout registry, content and store structure so the product can be located consistently by browsing or search.

For procurement documentation, the information on this page — instrument name, pattern designation where applicable, article number, dimensions and graduation details — is sufficient to prepare a purchase requisition or tender line item. Where institutional documentation requires data not printed in the source catalog, such as material certificates, request these through the inquiry process so they can be supplied with the formal quotation.
