ConMed Linvatec 4.0mm 0° HD Autoclavable Arthroscope 170 mm Refurbished

The ConMed Linvatec is a 4.0 mm 0-degree rod-lens arthroscope used for arthroscopy. It relays a direct optical image of a joint space to a coupled camera head for display on a surgical monitor.

Rigid rod-lens endoscopes carry the image along a train of glass rod lenses rather than a fiber bundle, which transmits more light and resolves finer detail than older thin-lens or fiberoptic designs. The scope has no light source or sensor of its own: it couples to a separate camera head at the eyepiece and draws illumination from a light cable connected at the light post, and it is introduced through a cannula through a small portal incision. Its forward-viewing optic gives a straight, on-axis line of sight suited to direct, in-line visualization. A sealed, autoclavable construction lets the scope be steam-sterilized between cases instead of being restricted to chemical soak. Instruments of this class are handled by orthopedic and sports-medicine surgeons.

Key Features

• 0-degree viewing angle - keeps the line of sight straight down the shaft axis for in-line work.
• 4.0 mm diameter - a mid-diameter shaft balancing image brightness against access through standard portals.
• 170 mm working length - sets the reach from the coupling to the tip for the target anatomy.
• Light-post illumination - accepts a fiberoptic light cable so illumination scales with the connected light source.
• high-definition camera compatibility - couples to high-definition camera heads so resolution tracks the connected imaging chain.
• Standard eyepiece - mates to a clip-on camera coupler, keeping the scope compatible across camera brands.
• Autoclavable - tolerates steam sterilization, fitting a same-day turnover reprocessing workflow.

Ideal For

• Orthopedic and sports-medicine operating rooms
• Knee, shoulder, hip, and small-joint arthroscopy
• Ambulatory surgery centers handling high arthroscopy volume
• Use by orthopedic and sports-medicine surgeons
