Smillie Meniscotome Right 6mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled cutting and resection of meniscal tissue during knee meniscal surgery, this right-oriented meniscotome facilitates precise trimming and excision of torn or degenerative meniscal fragments. Its blade profile enables access into confined joint spaces for work on the posterior horn and peripheral rim where accurate, atraumatic tissue removal is required.

Design & Configuration

The right-curved blade geometry provides an ergonomic cutting angle for approaching lesions from the corresponding side of the joint or portal. A 6 mm blade width delivers a balance between cutting capacity and tactile control, allowing the surgeon to perform incremental resections while maintaining visualization. The 17 cm overall length gives sufficient reach for intra-articular manipulation without excessive shaft length that can impede hand control.
