arthroscopic shaver

An arthroscopic shaver is a specialized surgical tool used during minimally invasive joint surgeries, such as knee or shoulder procedures. It consists of a small, motorized device with a rotating blade that gently trims, removes, or smooths damaged cartilage, bone fragments, or meniscal tissue. This helps restore joint function and relieve pain with minimal incision size. The device is used under a camera-guided system called an arthroscope, allowing the surgeon to see inside the joint and perform precise tissue removal efficiently and with less recovery time compared to open surgery.
