Clinical Application
This right-cutting meniscus knife is intended for precise excision, trimming and contouring of torn meniscal tissue during knee procedures. It is suitable for use in both arthroscopic-assisted and open meniscectomy/meniscal repair procedures where controlled, incremental resections are required—for example when removing flap tears, shaping unstable rims, or refining reparable tissue prior to fixation.
Design & Configuration
The right-cutting orientation places the sharp edge on the surgeon's right side during standard handling, enabling predictable bite directionality when making sweeping or pulling motions. The overall 17 cm length provides reach through standard arthroscopic portals or open exposures while maintaining a slim working profile to minimize collateral tissue contact. The single-cutting edge geometry helps deliver controlled, tactile feedback for precise tissue removal.
