R. WOLF 8471.42, 25 Degree Rigid Arthroscope

The R. WOLF 8471.42, 25 Degree Rigid Arthroscope is a high-quality medical instrument designed for arthroscopic surgery. It is used by orthopedic surgeons to visually examine, diagnose, and treat joint conditions with minimal invasiveness. The rigid construction of the arthroscope and its specific 25-degree angle allow for precise visualization during joint procedures, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the surgery.

Key Features:

1. 25-Degree Angle:

   • The 25-degree angled lens provides a wide field of view for surgeons, allowing them to view the joint area from an optimal perspective, especially in tight or hard-to-reach areas.
   • This angle is ideal for certain joint examinations, particularly in knee, shoulder, or ankle arthroscopies, where maneuvering inside the joint space is critical.

2. Rigid Construction:

   • The rigid design ensures durability and stability during use. The arthroscope remains steady within the joint during examination or surgical procedures, providing clear and stable imaging.
   • The rigid nature allows for easier insertion and control during the procedure.

3. High-Quality Optics:

   • The optical quality of the R. WOLF 8471.42 is designed for sharp, high-definition visualization, ensuring clear and detailed views of the joint structures.
   • The lens system is crafted to deliver bright, clear images with minimal distortion, helping surgeons accurately assess the joint condition.

4. Sterilizable:

   • As with most arthroscopic instruments, the R. WOLF 8471.42 is designed to be sterilized, ensuring the safety and hygiene of the device between uses.
   • It is compatible with autoclaving or other common sterilization methods, maintaining strict infection control standards in medical settings.

5. Ergonomic Design:

   • The instrument features an ergonomically designed handle to ensure ease of use for surgeons during extended procedures.
   • Its design promotes comfort and minimizes hand fatigue, which is important for precise control and accuracy during delicate surgeries.

6. Versatile for Joint Procedures:

   • The arthroscope can be used in various joint procedures, including diagnostics, tissue repair, and minimally invasive surgeries like meniscus repair, ligament reconstruction, or cartilage treatment.
   • It is particularly useful in knee arthroscopies but can also be used in shoulder, hip, and ankle surgeries.

Applications:

• Arthroscopy: The primary application of the R. WOLF 8471.42 is in arthroscopic surgery, where it is used to provide clear visualization inside joints for minimally invasive procedures.
• Orthopedic Surgeries: It is particularly suited for knee, shoulder, and other joint arthroscopies, allowing surgeons to perform procedures like joint repair, ligament reconstructions, and cartilage resurfacing.
• Diagnostic Use: The device is essential in diagnosing joint injuries, such as tears in ligaments or cartilage, as well as conditions like arthritis.

Benefits:

• Improved Surgical Accuracy: The clear and detailed visuals provided by the 25-degree rigid arthroscope allow for more precise surgical planning and execution.
• Minimally Invasive: As a rigid arthroscope, it enables surgeons to perform joint surgeries with smaller incisions, leading to less tissue damage, quicker recovery times, and reduced post-operative pain.
• Enhanced Patient Outcomes: By providing detailed visualization, the arthroscope helps surgeons make informed decisions that improve the overall success of joint procedures.
• Durability and Reliability: The high-quality construction ensures the device can withstand frequent use, providing consistent performance during complex procedures.
