Meniscus knife

A meniscus knife is a specialized surgical tool used during knee procedures to precisely cut or reshape the meniscus, the cushioning cartilage between the femur and tibia. These instruments help surgeons address tears or degenerative changes while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, often during arthroscopic or open knee surgeries.

Meniscus knives are typically reusable surgical instruments, commonly made from high-grade stainless steel, and come in various blade designs to suit different cutting techniques. Their regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to medical device standards, with requirements for sterility, durability, and surgical precision.
