ConMed Linvatec Refurbished 4.0 mm 30° HD Autoclav Arthroscope Eyepiece

The ConMed Linvatec is a 4.0 mm 30-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-oblique optic gives an angled field that lets the operator survey around the central axis by rotating the scope rather than repositioning the sheath. 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

• 30-degree viewing angle - angles the field so rotating the scope sweeps the view around the axis.
• 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
