Description
Neff Meniscotomy Knife
The Neff meniscotomy knife is a 23 cm blade with good reach inside the knee. Surgeons use it to trim and release meniscus tissue in open procedures.
A second long pattern
Many knee sets include two long knives with different blade shapes. Consequently, the surgeon can choose the angle that suits each tear. Also, the Neff provides one of those shapes.
Trimming and shaping
After removing the torn part, the remaining rim often needs smoothing. Therefore the Neff trims ragged edges back to stable tissue. A smooth rim moves better afterward.
Who uses the Neff meniscotomy knife
It belongs on open knee trays, beside meniscus forceps and retractors. Moreover, sports and trauma surgeons keep it for complex tears. Training programs use it as well.
A steady grip
Hold the handle like a pen for fine trimming. Meanwhile, rest the hand on the patient to steady it. Small, controlled movements give the best result.
When to pick it
Choose the Neff when the tear runs along the middle and back of the meniscus. In contrast, a short knife suits the front. Together they cover the whole structure.
