Clinical Application
Designed for controlled incision and selective resection of meniscal tissue, this curved meniscotomy knife is used in knee procedures where precise scoring, opening, or partial meniscectomy is required. It is intended for use under direct arthroscopic visualization or in mini-open approaches to the joint. The small, curved cutting profile facilitates treatment of peripheral and posterior horn tears while minimizing collateral damage to adjacent cartilage and synovium.
Design & Configuration
The curved blade geometry provides angulation needed to reach posterior and medial/lateral aspects of the meniscus through standard arthroscopic portals. The blade curvature permits slicing motions that follow the meniscal contour, improving control during delicate trimming or incision. At 18 cm overall length, the instrument balances intra-articular reach with tactile control at the handle, helping surgeons maintain precise blade orientation within the confined joint space.
