Prepare for unpredictability with quality and performance
The treatment path of a meniscal tear – repair or partial meniscectomy – is sometimes hard to predict until it can be visualized arthroscopically.
Our full portfolio includes everything from market-leading meniscal repair and handheld instruments solutions, to state-of-the-art DYONICS◊ blades and COBLATION◊ Wands for meniscal repair, contouring and resection.
Manual Resection with ACUFEX◊ Handheld Instruments
Designed for easy access, our extensive line of ACUFEX Instruments includes punches, scissors and graspers, and are offered in a wide range of tips and handle configurations.

Narrowline Family: Small, aggressive tip design and narrow shaft are intended to provide excellent maneuverability and multiple plane-cutting capability in the posterior horn
DUCKBILL◊ Basket Punch: Low-profile punches designed to produce a large, square bite. The wave-tooth design allows for the maximum amount of tissue to be smoothly resected in tight knees.
DUCKLING◊ Basket Punch: Combines the wide-bite of the DUCKBILL-style punch with the thinnest possible tip, allowing optimum maneuverability under the condyle and greater posterior advancement.
STINGRAY◊ Basket Punch: Back-biting capability is intended to offer the most direct access to the anterior horn.
90º Rotary Basket Punch: Designed to offer an effective angle for trimming the difficult-to-access anterior meniscus. The unique tip design allows for successive bites, making this instrument ideal for balancing the meniscal rim.
Mechanical Resection with DYONICS◊ PLATINUM Blades
DYONICS PLATINUM Blades have been designed to provide surgical solutions that efficiently resect tissue and bone and effectively navigate hard-to-reach areas.

SYNOVATOR◊ PLATINUM Blade: features acute, beveled blade edges and dual inner cutting windows to allow shallow cuts, designed to remove torn tissue while sparing adjacent healthy tissue.
INCISOR◊ Plus PLATINUM Blade: designed for highly degenerated tears, this blade offers a precision-sharpened, tooth-to-tooth design for rapid resection.
DYONICS Full Radius Curved Blades: are designed to access especially tight knees.
DYONICS ORBIT◊ Curved Blades: feature a unique cutting window that can be rotated up to 360° while in the joint. This allows for convex and concave blade orientation, and eliminates the need for removing and bending blades.
FIRSTPASS◊ MINI Suture Passer:
With the goal of providing a reliable, versatile and eas-to-use system, this suture passer is designed to help facilitate procedures executed in tight spaces.
COBLATION◊ WEREWOLF FLOW 50 Wand
The WEREWOLF FLOW 50 Wand enables surgeons to access and address all soft tissue types in the knee without compromise.

- Indicated for meniscus and all soft tissue in the knee.
- Combined COBLATION and FLOW~IQ™ technology to remove tissue with speed* and precision1,2**
- Designed to provide optimal access to the posterior horn and root of the meniscus.

* In Vac mode the FLOW 50™ COBLATION Wandremoves free-floating tissue approximately four times faster than AMBIENT™ SUPER MULTIVAC50, in vitro.
** The controlled plasma field produced by COBLATION allows for precise removal of soft tissue with minimal damage(100 - 200 μm) evident in untargeted cartilage tissue ex vivo; Cell damage may vary depending on protocol used.
