- Shaft angles
- Tip sizes
- Scoop configurations
- “Big bill” options
Is the design optimized for controlled handling?
The instrument features a traditional, ergonomic scissor-style grip with two finger loops and an added finger rest. This design provides surgeons with the stability and tactile control necessary for delicate arthroscopic maneuvers.

The specialized duckbill tip is engineered specifically for the efficient and precise cutting and retrieval of cartilage and soft tissue debris within joint spaces.
