Bionx Meniscus Arrow Instrumentation Set w/ Tray Cannulas Probe Trocar

Bionx Meniscus Arrow Instrumentation | Arthroscopic Repair Set

The Bionx Meniscus Arrow system remains a foundational platform for "all-inside" meniscal repair, engineered for the 2026 requirements of sports medicine and arthroscopic reconstruction. This specialized instrumentation set is designed to facilitate the accurate placement of bioabsorbable Meniscus Arrows, which stabilize longitudinal tears by providing high-compression fixation.

The set is characterized by its wide array of MA1100-series cannulas, offering straight, curved, and multi-axial geometries. These allow the surgeon to navigate the complex curves of the femoral condyles to reach the posterior horns of both the medial and lateral menisci with minimal iatrogenic risk.

Key Performance Features

• Multi-Axial Cannula System: The set includes five distinct cannula profiles (Straight, Curved, Left, Right, and Curved Shaft), ensuring the surgeon can maintain a perpendicular approach to the tear regardless of the patient's joint anatomy.

• Superior Tactile Feedback: The manual delivery system (via the MA1100-021 Piston) provides the surgeon with a sensitive "feel" for tissue resistance, which is critical for ensuring the arrow has successfully bypassed the tear and anchored into the peripheral rim.

• Integrated Access Tools: Includes the Linvatec/Bionx MA1100-01 Trocar, providing a robust entry path through the portal and ensuring the delicate cannulas are not damaged or bent during initial joint entry.

• Diagnostic Precision: The specialized Meniscus Hook Probe and Curved Probe Shaft are calibrated for tension-testing the repair intraoperatively, allowing for immediate verification of the stabilization's mechanical integrity.

• Bioabsorbable Compatibility: Specifically designed for the delivery of PLA-based Meniscus Arrows, ensuring that the implants are not stressed or deformed during the insertion stroke.

Detailed Instrument Inventory

• Cannulas (5x): * MA1100-05: Straight with Channel and Stylet (Standard anterior access)

  • MA1100-06: Right Curve (Lateral meniscus / Posterior horn)

  • MA1100-07: Left Curve (Medial meniscus / Posterior horn)

  • MA1100-08: Curved Tip (Increased angulation for difficult corridors)

  • MA1100-09: Curved Shaft (Deep-joint navigation)

• Delivery & Access (2x):

  • MA1100-021: Manual Piston/Obturator (Implant deployment)

  • MA1100-01: Arthroscopic Trocar (Portal access)

• Diagnostic Probes (2x): Meniscus Hook Probe and Curved Probe Shaft

• Sterilization Case: Bionx-branded aluminum tray with organized layout (12" x 10" x 3")

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Reduced Procedural Time: The "all-inside" technique supported by this set eliminates the need for additional "inside-out" incisions, reducing operative time and post-operative morbidity.

• Remanufactured Quality: Sourcing an "Excellent Condition" Bionx set provides high-tier orthopedic capability for sports medicine centers at a significant reduction in capital cost.

• Streamlined SPD Workflow: The dedicated sterilization tray ensures all components are accounted for during reprocessing, reducing the risk of missing critical cannulas during a case.

Ideal Applications

• Sports Medicine: Repair of vertical longitudinal meniscal tears in athletes.

• Pediatric Orthopedics: Minimally invasive stabilization of meniscal lesions.

• Joint Preservation: Maintaining meniscal function to delay the onset of osteoarthritis.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Excellent Condition.

• Integrity: All cannulas have been inspected for internal patency and lumen smoothness. The trocar tip remains sharp, and the piston mechanism operates with factory-spec resistance.

• Reprocessing Note: As with all reusable orthopedic steel, this set must undergo a validated ultrasonic cleaning and high-temperature autoclave cycle prior to clinical use.
