Imaging & Resection
The metal cannulas are used for inflow/outflow cannulas or for use with the bridge system. The cannulas feature a J-Lock connection, and are offered in fenestrated and nonfenestrated tip designs. The proximal end of the cannula locks into most Arthrex shaver blade/burr hubs, which eliminates cannula leaking. The metal cannulas and obturators are sold separately and also sold in sets. The unsealed cannulas come in 3.0, 4.5, 4.75, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.5 mm inner diameters.We now offer a sealed metal cannula primarily used for the sealed bridge system, but they also double as an introducer for the sheathless arthroscope. The seal or dam inside the cannula is limited re-use and features two seals bonded together to reduce cannula squirt. The sealed can be replaced by unscrewing the top J-Lock portion of the cannula. The sealed cannulas come in 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 mm inner diameters and are only offered with a blunt obturator that is sold separately.
Competitive Sheaths
The competitive sheaths feature different options for the Stryker, Dyonics. The sheaths are rotatable double stopcocks and the obturators and trocars are sold separately. The sheaths are 6 mm outer diameter, which will be an advantage during pump trials due to the higher flow rate.
Synergy Bridge Systems
The synergy bridge systems is for surgeons who currently use a competitive bridge/cannula system. The main purpose of a bridge is to help maintain portals with the use of metal cannulas. Your typical bridge user will have two cannulas placed in the joint, one viewing portal and one working portal. The cannulas feature a J-Lock type connection to the bridge, which allows for quick and easy portal changes. The Arthrex® shaver blades screw in to the cannulas to make a seal which helps maintain distention in the joint.
Synergy Sheaths
The Synergy sheaths are constructed by expert craftsmen with the finest materials. The Arthrex specific scope connection sheaths feature numerous sizes, lengths and configurations to accommodate any arthroscopic need. The high-flow tapered and fenestrated sheaths work with both 30° and 70° scopes. The tapered sheaths hug the tip of the scope to reduce cartilage gouging and the fenestrations are recessed to minimize tissue collection.
