Bircher Meniscotome 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled excision and trimming of meniscal tissue, this instrument is used by orthopedic surgeons during meniscal debridement, partial meniscectomy and meniscal shaping procedures. Its form factor is intended to allow precise, incremental cuts to remove unstable or damaged meniscal fragments while preserving healthy rim tissue. Appropriate for use in open or limited-access approaches where a narrow-profile cutting instrument is required.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 19 cm shaft provides reach into the joint while preserving tactile feedback and ergonomic control at the handle. The Bircher meniscotome configuration concentrates cutting capability at the distal tip, enabling focused bites of meniscal tissue and controlled resection in confined spaces. The single-ended, hand-held layout facilitates direct visualization techniques and working through small incisions or portals.
