ARTHROSCOPY INSTRUMENTS
The Arthrex Difference
New product innovation in arthroscopic surgery is the
heart and soul of Arthrex. Our goal is to make technically
demanding procedures easier, safer and reproducible. Each
instrument is precision manufactured to the highest quality
standards in the U.S. at Arthrex California, Inc., and is backed
by a lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship.
These instruments have state-of-the-art quality, durability,
precise tactile feel and an extremely low profile tip. These
features facilitate easier access to pathology in tight joint
spaces with precision cutting edges and precise resection
control. EDM manufacturing technology with stainless steel

edges guarantees maximum sharpness and durability that
rarely require resharpening or repair. Less than 1% of all
Arthrex Arthroscopy Instruments require resharpening after
two years of surgical usage, an unprecedented achievement
for a fine surgical instrument in orthopaedics.
The Arthrex Arthroscopy Instruments exemplify our
uncompromising quality in products and services focused
exclusively on the special needs of the arthroscopic surgeon.
