Arthroscopy Fluid Management Disposables: Enhancing Precision in Minimally Invasive Surgery
As minimally invasive procedures become the gold standard in orthopedics, arthroscopy fluid management disposables have emerged as essential components for achieving surgical efficiency, safety, and precision. These single-use products play a crucial role in maintaining optimal visibility and joint distension during arthroscopic procedures, directly impacting surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
What Are Arthroscopy Fluid Management Disposables?
In arthroscopy, surgeons insert a small camera (arthroscope) and instruments into a joint through tiny incisions to diagnose or treat conditions such as ligament tears, cartilage damage, or joint inflammation. A clear and distended field of view is vital for success, and that requires controlled fluid inflow and outflow.
Fluid management disposables include tubing sets, suction accessories, inflow/outflow cannulas, drapes, and waste collection bags. These components ensure sterile, efficient transport of irrigation fluids to and from the surgical site. Unlike reusable instruments, these items are designed…
