CONT

PenAdapt [trademark] is an aspiration sheath that fits over an electrosurgical pencil body and leaves the tip or blade exposed. This device is considered an accessory to an electrosurgical unit (ESU). Use to remove smoke, particles, body fluid and casual fluids from the point of surgical activity during surgical procedures that use ESU for cutting and cauterizing. This device is used in conjunction with a suction (vacuum) source.

CONT

A partial or radical synovectomy can be carried out arthroscopically using a shaver less than 3 mm in diameter and a thermocouple probe system or a small suction punch device. Care should be exercised when using the shaver or a punch to avoid iatrogenic compromise of the capsular ligaments themselves. Because of the small diameter of the shaver, the suction sheath frequently becomes clogged with debrided tissue. This requires frequent cleaning, which may frustrate some surgeons.
