ArthroBlade®
The ArthroBlade® is an advanced radiofrequency (RF) ablation platform engineered for controlled soft tissue sculpting, hemostasis, and precise arthroscopic resection. Its low-temperature plasma delivery technology minimizes collateral tissue damage while ensuring effective ablation and coagulation in demanding orthopedic procedures.
Core Technical Features
-
-
Probe Customization
ArthroBlade® offers a comprehensive range of probe geometries, including suction and non-suction variants, with multiple pin configurations (3, 4, and 5 electrodes) and angles to adapt to diverse surgical requirements. -
Efficient Suction Architecture
Selected models integrate a star-shaped suction channel, ensuring uniform aspiration across the working surface for improved visualization and consistent fluid evacuation. -
Optimized Electrode Design
Multi-active electrode pins provide efficient plasma distribution, supported by a stainless-steel shaft for enhanced stiffness and durability. The tapered profile combines wall thickness with reduced tip diameter, maximizing maneuverability without compromising structural integrity. -
Thermal Control
Advanced cooling mechanisms optimize plasma intensity while maintaining safe surface temperatures, reducing the risk of thermal injury. -
Versatile Control Options
Surgeons may operate the system through integrated handle buttons or foot switches, enhancing procedural ergonomics and precision.
