ConMed Linvatec HD4700 4.0mm 70° HD Arthroscope 9-1/4”

ConMed Linvatec HD Arthroscope | 4.0mm | 70° | HD4700

The ConMed Linvatec HD4700 is a premium, rigid optical instrument engineered for high-definition visualization during complex orthopedic procedures. Featuring a 4.0mm diameter and a specialized 70° direction of view, this arthroscope provides the superior clarity and lateral perspective required to navigate the intricate posterior compartments of the knee, hip, and ankle.

As part of the HD Series, the HD4700 is designed to maximize light transmission and resolution when paired with modern 3-chip HD camera systems. Its 9-1/4 inch working length and robust stainless steel construction make it a "gold standard" for surgeons who demand uncompromising reliability and optical precision in 2026 surgical environments.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: ConMed Linvatec

• Model / REF: HD4700

• Diameter: 4.0 mm

• Direction of View: 70° (Wide-angle lateral visualization)

• Working Length: 9-1/4 inches (Approx. 23.5 cm)

• Optical Type: High-Definition (HD) Rigid Rod Lens

• Sterilization: Autoclavable (Steam)

• Interface: Standard Eyepiece (ISO) and universal light post

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior 70° Visualization: The 70-degree offset allows surgeons to "see around corners." This is essential for inspecting the posterior horns of the menisci, visualizing the axilla of the shoulder, or navigating the deep recesses of the hip joint that are inaccessible with a standard 30° scope.

• High-Definition Rod Lens System: Engineered with premium optical glass, the HD4700 minimizes spherical aberration and peripheral distortion. The result is a crisp, edge-to-edge image that allows for the identification of subtle cartilage defects and fine anatomical structures.

• Optimized Light Delivery: The integrated fiber optic bundle is designed to distribute light evenly across the entire 70° field of view, eliminating "hot spots" and providing consistent illumination even in blood-rich surgical environments.

• Rugged Surgical Construction: The shaft is forged from high-grade, laser-welded stainless steel, providing the rigidity needed for joint distraction while protecting the delicate internal rod lenses from mechanical stress.

• Seamless System Integration: Featuring a standard ISO eyepiece and universal light post, the HD4700 is "plug-and-play" with industry-standard camera couplers and light cables from ConMed, Stryker, and Smith & Nephew.

Applications

• Knee Arthroscopy: Posterior compartment inspection and complex meniscal repairs.

• Shoulder Arthroscopy: Subscapularis visualization and inferior glenohumeral ligament assessment.

• Hip Arthroscopy: Navigating the peripheral compartment and labral assessment.

• Ankle Arthroscopy: Visualization of posterior pathology and osteochondral lesions.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Very Good Condition.

• Optical Integrity: The rod lenses have been inspected for clarity; there are no "peppers," chips, or internal fogging. The image is bright and centered.

• Mechanical Health: The stainless steel shaft is straight, and the distal and proximal sapphire windows are free of significant scratches.

• Sterilization Note: This scope is Autoclavable. It has been well-maintained to withstand the rigors of repeated steam sterilization cycles without optical degradation.

• Maintenance: Thoroughly cleaned and tested for light transmission and focal accuracy.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in a padded, rigid protective case to ensure the precision-aligned internal optics remain pristine during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
