HP2236 Labral Suture Passer
The HP2236 Labral Suture Passer is an arthroscopic instrument designed to assist suture passage during labral repair procedures. It is intended for controlled handling of repair sutures under direct arthroscopic visualization and should be used by trained orthopedic or sports-medicine professionals according to the current surgical technique and instructions for use.
The supplied product image shows a long-shaft passer with a handle and a curved distal working section. This configuration is intended to support access and controlled positioning during arthroscopic labral repair. The final portal, cannula and approach selection must be determined by the responsible surgeon according to the patient anatomy, repair location and validated technique.
The product image also shows the matching HP2236.1 Labral Suture Passer Needle. Both the HP2236 passer and the HP2236.1 needle are labeled 4.8 x 140 mm in the supplied material. The needle may be a dedicated working component or a separately supplied replacement item; the exact package configuration must be confirmed in the current product label and technical documentation.
During an arthroscopic labral repair workflow, a suture passer may be used to position or pass a repair suture through the target labral tissue before the suture is secured using the selected repair construct. The passer itself is not a suture anchor, implant or fixation device. It should not be described as providing fixation strength or healing outcomes independently of the complete surgical construct.
Labral repair instruments are used in procedures involving abnormal or torn labral tissue. Depending on the joint and the repair plan, labral repair may involve the shoulder or hip. The supplied image does not specify a joint-specific version, so the product page should use the broader term arthroscopic labral repair unless the manufacturer confirms a dedicated shoulder or hip indication.

Clinical and technical information boundary: The supplied image does not confirm the material grade, needle tip design, suture compatibility, working-jaw mechanism, handle actuation method, cannula compatibility, reusable or disposable status, sterilization method, sterile status, packaging, shelf life, regulatory certificates or joint-specific indications. These details should be added only after confirmation from the current technical file, product label or instructions for use.
