Meniscal Probe Cutter Handle

The Arthrex Meniscal Probe Cutter was developed to improve the ease and safety of caudal pole meniscectomy and meniscal release. The Meniscal Probe Cutter allows the surgeon to isolate and cut the typical flap of a bucket handle tear using a single instrument.

The probe cutter is an innovative 2-in-1 tool; the instrument has a bent up tip for meniscal defect detection, and in its cannulation, there slides a blade to allow for instant partial resection. Blade advancement is controlled via thumb handle and the integrated spring system eliminates the danger of accidental cutting and soft tissue harming by the blade during instrument insertion. Usable with one hand, the new probe cutter is the ideal tool for meniscus assessment and best used in conjunction with the stifle distractor.
