Arthroscopy Sheath

Product Description

An arthroscopy sheath is used in arthroscopic surgery to facilitate minimally invasive examination and treatment of joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, or ankle. The sheath serves several key purposes:

1. Guidance and Protection: It creates a protective pathway for the arthroscope and other instruments, preventing damage to surrounding tissues as they are introduced into the joint.

2. Fluid Management: Equipped with inflow and outflow ports, the sheath allows for the introduction of saline solution to expand the joint space and flush out debris, maintaining a clear visual field for the surgeon.

3. Stabilization: The sheath stabilizes the arthroscope during the procedure, helping maintain a consistent view of the surgical area.

4. Access Control: It enables the insertion, manipulation, and exchange of small instruments without repeated entry and exit through the skin and joint capsule, minimizing trauma and potential tissue damage.

Overall, the arthroscopy sheath is essential in supporting a clear, controlled, and minimally invasive approach to joint surgery.
