InteliJET

InteliJET is a complete, high performance fluid management system that controls both inflow and outflow. It can also be used as a stand-alone irrigation system that delivers stable and accurate joint distension, quickly and easily.

Featuring flow rates in excess of 2 1 min and special high flow cannulas, InteliJET is a patented, state-of-the-art fluid management system. It actively controls both inflow and outflow to the joint, improving operative joint distension, thus increasing access to the operative site. The InteliJET System is designed to communicate with the Dyonics Power Shaver System for more efficient, effective fluid management.

InteliJET features a centrifugal pump for a balanced flow and clear flowing viewing field. This allows for joint pressure relief using free backflow through the tubing cassette. In addition, the system delivers accurate calculation of in-joint pressure for accurate pressure management.

InteliJET is the only fluid management system to deliver such high flow rates and performance in arthroscopy. InteliJET also provides:

• Gravity-fed inflow that serves as a backup irrigation system
• Option of detailed or quick-startup menu, for flexibility in a variety of OR setups or procedures
• Preconnected tubing cassettes for simplified setup
• Wireless remote for control of pressure and suction from the sterile field

Access 15

Access 15 Irrigation System-A Better Way to View Joint Pressure Management.

The Smith & Nephew Access 15 is the fast and easy system for accurate joint pressure management. The snap-on tubing cassette makes setup a simple one-hand operation. Advanced Flow Regulation (AFR) delivers optimal flow rates for stable and accurate in-joint pressure with any inflow setup. For optimum visualization, the system’s wash function is designed to both clear debris and distend the joint immediately in the event of sudden fluid loss. This key feature makes Access 15 ideal for ACL repair or subacromial decompression.

In addition, Access 15 provides:

• Maximum flow rate of 1.5 1/min for procedural speed and efficiency
• Cost-savings by conserving saline and reducing bag changes
• Wireless remote control for full system control from the sterile field
• Remote foot pedal for easy operation of wash function

Vulvan EA

ORATEC Interventions Inc, Menlo Park, Calif, offers the Vulcan™ EAS ElectroThermal Arthroscopy™ System. The Vulcan EAS combines ablation, temperature control, and tissue resection with a 200-watt output. A user-friendly interface and auto-probe recognition make the EAS easy to set up in the operating room. A variable audio output informs the surgeon when the target tissue temperature has been achieved, which allows the surgeon to focus on the procedure, not the temperature display.
