Surgery without a Scalpel - Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy using Needle Arthroscopy

Introduction to the NanoNeedle Scope, presented by Dr. Rachel M. Frank for Arthrex, introduces the NanoNeedle scope-a needle-sized, single-use visualization system designed to modernize minimally invasive joint diagnostic and operative procedures.

Key Highlights

• Ultra-Compact Design: Utilizes a lightweight, pencil-grip, chip-on-tip single-use camera unit (~1.9 mm) compared to bulky, traditional 4K arthroscopic equipment.
• Atraumatic Joint Access: Allows surgeons to easily access and visualize tight joint spaces with minimal soft tissue disruption.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for diagnostic and operative procedures across various joints, including knee, shoulder, foot, ankle, hand, and wrist.
• Flexible Settings: Designed for use in the operating room as well as procedure rooms or clinical office environments under local anesthesia.
• Integrated Ecosystem: Pairs with a portable touchscreen tablet console, high-flow sheaths, working cannulas, and micro-resection devices.
