Arthroscopy has high-definition imaging, a wide field of view, is minimally invasive, durable, and easy to operate, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment and rapid recovery of patients.
1. Product definition and use
Orthopedic sports medicine arthroscopy is a minimally invasive rod-shaped optical instrument used to diagnose and treat orthopedic sports trauma-related diseases. One end is equipped with a high-definition camera and light source, and the other end is connected to the imaging system and display screen. By making a small incision around the joint and inserting it into the joint cavity, the internal structure of the joint, such as cartilage, synovium, ligaments, meniscus, etc., can be directly observed. Special instruments can also be used to perform surgical operations through the endoscopic channel, such as meniscus repair, ligament reconstruction, synovial membrane cleaning, etc.
2. Scope of application
Applicable to the diagnosis and treatment of various joint diseases such as knee joint, shoulder joint, hip joint, ankle joint, elbow joint, etc. Common types of surgery include:
Knee joint: meniscus injury repair, cruciate ligament rupture reconstruction, patellofemoral joint dislocation instability treatment, popliteal cyst removal, articular cartilage injury treatment, intra-articular loose body removal, etc.
Shoulder joint: rotator cuff tear repair, scapulohumeral periarthritis treatment, shoulder dislocation instability correction, shoulder impingement syndrome treatment, SLAP injury repair, etc.
Hip joint: treatment of hip impingement, etc.
Ankle joint: treatment of ankle impingement, auxiliary treatment of simple medial or lateral malleolus fractures, etc.
Elbow joint: treatment of tennis elbow, etc.
3. Product composition
Arthroscopy body: mostly made of imported stainless steel tubes, some high-end products use sapphire mirrors, and the diameter of the body is generally around a few millimeters. For example, the body of Linftech arthroscopy is made of tungsten alloy, which is 3 times stronger than stainless steel, and also has shockproof and anti-fog functions. There are many viewing angles for the body, and common viewing angles include 0°, 30°, 70°, etc. Some multifunctional endoscopes such as ENDOCAMELEON® from Karl Storz combine the advantages of HOPKINS® technology and variable viewing angles.
Camera system: The chip pixel is usually greater than 3 million, which can achieve 2K full HD or even 4K (3840×2160) ultra-high-definition 60-frame image output, ensuring high-resolution imaging, and can clearly display the fine structure in the joint. Some products also have the ability to restore true colors, presenting more than one billion colors, which is convenient for doctors to identify diseased tissues and normal tissues.
Display system: Most of them are 24/26 inches, 16:9, 1080P high-definition high-brightness screens, or higher-resolution displays, providing doctors with clear observation images.
Cold light source system: Long-life imported LED optical engines are often used, with brightness greater than 300W xenon lamps, providing sufficient lighting for internal joint inspections.
Mirror sheath and related accessories: The most common is the quick-change double-valve sheath made in Germany, equipped with obturators, Mitsubishi puncture needles, etc., which are easy to use and have good sealing. In addition, there are various types of arthroscopic forceps (such as forceps for grasping, cutting, suturing and other functions), planing heads and drill bits (some have extra-long designs, and are divided into disposable and reusable) and other tools and instruments.
4. Product Features
High-definition imaging: It can provide clear and delicate images of the internal joints, allowing doctors to accurately observe the tissue structure, lesion sites and their subtle changes, which helps to detect lesions early and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Wide field of view: The mirror of some products is made of sapphire material, with a wide-angle field of view of 105 degrees, which can cover a wider area and facilitate doctors to observe every corner of the joint.
Minimally invasive: The surgical incision is small, usually only 2-3 0.5cm small holes are needed to complete the operation, reducing patient pain and postoperative complications, and the postoperative recovery is fast.
Good durability: Some mirror bodies are made of special alloy materials with high strength, shockproof and anti-fog functions to ensure stability and clarity during surgery. At the same time, some reusable products are specially designed and processed and can be steam sterilized more than 500 times.
Convenient operation: The matching handle is lightweight and flexible, which is convenient for doctors to operate and reduces visual and operating fatigue caused by long-term surgery. Doctors can also locate the diseased tissue more accurately based on high-definition images, reduce damage to surrounding normal tissues, and improve the success rate and safety of surgery. 1.
