Smillie Meniscotomes are a cornerstone instrument in arthroscopic knee surgery procedures:
- Meniscectomy: Used for precise trimming and removal of torn or damaged meniscus tissue, promoting faster healing and improved joint function.
- Meniscal Repair: In some cases, Smillie Meniscotomes can be used to create small incisions in the meniscus to facilitate suture placement for meniscal repair procedures.
- May also be used for partial meniscectomies or shaping the meniscus for optimal healing.
Smillie Meniscotomes may also be referred to arthroscopic meniscotomes or meniscal knives.
