ArthroXis is an innovative, compound source-powered solution that combines shaving and electrosurgical functionalities to streamline arthroscopic interventions in orthopedic practice. Leveraging plasma-based bipolar radiofrequency technology, ArthroXis probes ablate and debride tissues with precision, providing surgeons a reliable platform for effective joint procedures while promoting visual clarity and optimal surgical outcomes.
Key Features
Compound Source-Powered Shaving & Electrosurgical Generator
Dual-Function Integration: Fuses mechanical tissue resection (shaver) with bipolar radiofrequency ablation, reducing the need for separate or multiple devices.
Adaptable Energy Output: Generates consistent radiofrequency energy tailored to various arthroscopic maneuvers (cut, coagulate, ablate).
ArthroXis Probes
Plasma-Based Bipolar RF Technology: Rapid tissue ablation with minimal thermal spread, enabling precise edges and minimal disruption to healthy tissue.
One-Piece Active Electrode: Increases probe durability and ensures stable conduction, reducing potential mechanical or electrical failures mid-procedure.
Optimized Waveform for Tissue Ablation
Effective Ablation & Debridement: The radiofrequency waveform specifically modulates energy to swiftly debride cartilage or soft tissue while maintaining a clean operative field.
Unique Electrode Designs: Edge control geometry supports accurate resection along tight spaces or around curved anatomical structures.
Advanced Aspiration & Visualization
Built-In Aspiration Channels: Maintains visual clarity by evacuating resected particles or fluid quickly, preventing debris accumulation in the operative site.
Ergonomic Hand Controls: Tactile button feedback fosters easy switching between ablation settings, enhancing user confidence and focusing surgeon attention on critical surgical tasks.
Clinical Advantages & Applications
Wide-Ranging Arthroscopic & Orthopedic Indications
Shoulder, Knee, Hip Procedures: Ideal for partial meniscectomies, labral debridements, subacromial decompressions, or chondroplasty in multiple joints.
Soft Tissue Management: Treats synovial inflammation, ligamentous or tendon edge smoothing, and cartilage reshaping with high precision.
Efficient Tissue Removal & Hemostasis
Shaver + RF Synergy: Mechanical resection rapidly clears bulk tissue while radiofrequency technology refines and seals edges—limiting micro-bleeding and offering partial hemostasis.
Reduced Procedure Time: Combined functionalities and dynamic aspiration streamline workflow, minimizing device exchanges.
Minimized Thermal & Mechanical Trauma
Precise RF Delivery: The plasma-based approach ensures minimal collateral damage to surrounding tissues, accelerating healing and potentially reducing postoperative pain.
One-Piece Electrode: Decreases risk of instrument malfunction, promoting consistent ablation with no abrupt temperature shifts.
Better Visualization, Less Fogging
Active Aspiration: Removes fluid turbulence, suspended debris, or smoke from ablation, sustaining a clear arthroscopic view.
Ergonomic Hand Controls: Simplifies adjustments to resection or ablation parameters, improving surgeon focus and operative speed.
