What's new in labral repair and reconstruction

Get increased access and precision

To address complex anatomy and tight joint spaces, the FLOW FLEXTEND◊ COBLATION◊ Wand continues the FLOW-IQ◊ Technology’s 10-year legacy of leading design. Find out how it’s engineered to offer:

+ Precision: Tapered tip design with a plasma field facilitating optimal tissue targeting*1,2
+ Performance: Harness FLOW Technology to enhance ablation resection2
+ Access: Adjust the wand tip to your preferred angle, with hands-free retention3

Once you twist + flex, it'll all make sense.

Procedural innovation for capsular management

Start by targeting elevated efficiency

In hip arthroscopy, the basics need to perform…but we aim to elevate the basics beyond your current expectations. Join us to see how the CAP-LIFT◊ Cannula could help you:

+ Prevent migration, by design, and reduce the steps usually required to switch to a different portal***14
+ Achieve easier, faster instrument exchanges (even cameras)***14
+ Gain improved visualization through capsular elevation, with instrument movement not constrained by instrument size (vs standard cannulas)14

 

Get a hands-on demo and learn how it performs across different indications.

*Precision and optimal tissue targeting as demonstrated by overall thermal depth and width on ex vivo muscle and tendon models at default and maximum settings. Ablation performance compared to S+N HipVac Wand and FLOW 50 Wand, as demonstrated ex vivo at default settings, n=10 data points per device.

**As compared to competitive devices in fixation/pull-out benchtop testing.

***Compared to intermediate instrument switching steps and devices.
****Induction of new tendon-like tissue growth demonstrated in vivo. Supporting the healing response as shown in rotator cuff patients. Significant increase in mean tendon thickness and high healing rates demonstrated at 6-month follow-up; n=9, p≤0.02. 77.8% completely healed.
