- GENTLE PASSAGE
Its diamond-tipped needles are ideal to pierce the meniscus without tearing it. The silicone cover, in turn, allows for smooth passage through tissue.
- ASSOCIATED INSTRUMENTS
These sutures with needles are used together with cannulas that come in different angles, 25° and 65°, which can direct the passage to the injured areas.
Meniscal cannulas feature a blunt end to prevent meniscal damage during the procedure.
