Designed for precise cutting and debridement of meniscal tissue during knee procedures. It features a left‑oriented backbiting basket jaw configuration that facilitates controlled resection of fibrocartilage in anatomically challenging areas, particularly the posterior and peripheral regions of the meniscus. The instrument incorporates the ACUFEX Pro ergonomic handle, providing enhanced tactile feedback, comfort, and control during arthroscopic interventions.
