Access 15 Irrigation Pump – Smooth and Intelligent Performance for Your Arthroscopic Procedures
The Access 15 irrigation pump from Smith & Nephew is an essential device for all arthroscopic procedures requiring precise fluid flow management. Designed to meet the demands of orthopaedic surgeons, it combines ease of use, precise intra-articular pressure control and robust design for optimal performance over time.
At the heart of this technology is the patented snap-in cassette, which allows for intuitive placement, even with sterile gloves, avoiding complex handling and reducing preparation time. This innovation improves ergonomics in the operating theatre and promotes speed of execution, which is essential in a surgical environment. The user only needs one hand to insert the cassette, saving time and improving asepsis.
The pump's intelligence also lies in its AFR (Advanced Flow Regulation) system, which is capable of maintaining stable and effective pressure in the joint, regardless of the inflow configuration selected. This stability not only preserves the integrity of the surgical field, but also ensures constant visual comfort for the surgeon, without loss of reference points.
The maximum flow rate of 1.5 litres per minute allows for rapid irrigation, minimising interruptions due to lack of fluid or loss of clarity. This irrigation speed, coupled with the wash function that can be activated via a foot pedal or wireless remote control, allows joint debris to be removed instantly, while restoring joint volume in the event of sudden fluid leakage.
The Access 15 pump can be easily integrated into any operating environment thanks to its additional options, such as the trolley with suspension poles, and its compatibility with various single-use tubing sets, available in inflow or inflow/outflow versions. This modularity allows medical teams to adapt the setup to the specific needs of each procedure while controlling the costs associated with solution consumption.
The Access 15 offers an intelligent and accessible technological solution to the challenges of modern arthroscopy: stability, visibility, efficiency and ease of use for surgical procedures.
