Arthroscopy Instrument 5.0mm

Description

Arthroscopy Instrument 5.0mm

This 5 mm arthroscopy instrument, listed at 5.0 mm, is the largest in our range of keyhole hand tools. It suits large joints such as the knee and hip.

The largest size

A 5.0 mm instrument is robust and handles firm tissue. Therefore it suits larger joints with wider portals. Smaller joints need smaller tools.

The 5 mm arthroscopy jaw

Product details on the jaw are limited. For that reason, we offer a drawing on request. You can check the shape before buying.

Who uses a 5 mm arthroscopy instrument

Knee and hip arthroscopists use instruments of this size. Also, sports medicine units keep one. Additionally, it suits larger adult joints.

Technique

Pass the instrument through the portal under camera view. Then work with controlled movements. Avoid levering.

In a graded set

Many surgeons keep several sizes. Consequently, they switch by joint and task. Furthermore, the 5.0 mm completes the upper end.

Large joint work

In the knee and hip, wider portals allow larger instruments. So a big shaft can carry a sturdier working end. That helps when tissue is tough or fibrous.

Firm tissue

Scar tissue and thick capsule resist fine tools. In those cases, extra stiffness helps. Even so, use steady force rather than levering.

Why we stand behind the arthroscopy instrument

Before shipment, our Atlanta crew examines each arthroscopy instrument under good light. Clinics receive three years against manufacturing defects on every arthroscopy instrument. Busy departments hold a second arthroscopy instrument to avoid delays. For a related option, add the 4.0 mm version. Searching for a formal quote? Get in touch before you order.
