The system initially includes five specialized probes, including the DYONICS RF-S WHIRLWIND 90 degree Probe that is used to resect soft tissue and coagulate bleeding vessels in the knee, shoulder and hip, according to the release. The WHIRLWIND Probe incorporates a high-flow suction feature to quickly pull bubbles and free-floating debris from the procedure site, ensuring that the surgeon has a clear view of the joint.
“This self-contained DYONICS RF System is compact and aggressive enough for both small clinics and large medical facilities that perform multiple arthroscopy procedures each day,” Courtney Manthei, associate market manager for Resection at Smith & Nephew Endoscopy, said in the release. “Surgeons who have used this device in their procedures said they appreciate the control that it provides, especially when working in difficult to reach areas of the joint.”
