Smith+Nephew 72202088 70° Rigid Arthroscope – Extended Lateral View and Surgical Precision
The Smith+Nephew 72202088 arthroscope is a rigid instrument specifically designed to provide optimised lateral visualisation within joints. It is a 4.0 mm diameter model with a 70° viewing angle, allowing for an oblique approach that is particularly useful in complex procedures, such as those involving the knee or shoulder. The 115° field of view improves perception of the surgical site by reducing the movements required for exploration.
With a working length of 160 mm, the 72202088 offers an ideal compromise between manoeuvrability and visual range. The J-Lock locking system ensures quick and secure attachment to the optics or camera, while facilitating rapid handling during surgery. The light connector in the opposite position promotes natural ergonomics for surgeons, especially in cases of lateral or posterior access.
The 5.0 mm diameter optical interface is designed to ensure optimal compatibility with current endoscopic cameras, thus ensuring seamless integration into an existing technical platform. This model is designed to withstand autoclave sterilisation and is completely sealed, ensuring the longevity of the device and patient safety.
Thanks to its rigorous design, the 72202088 model fits perfectly into current surgical practices, while meeting the quality standards expected in operating theatres specialising in arthroscopy. It allows for detailed exploration of anatomical structures, even in hard-to-reach areas, contributing to greater diagnostic accuracy and more targeted surgical procedures. Its compatibility with high-definition imaging systems enhances overall visual quality, allowing the surgeon to maintain optimal concentration throughout the procedure. Robust, reliable and easy to use, this arthroscope is a strategic choice for healthcare facilities looking for effective and durable equipment.
