An arthroscopic obturator is a reusable, hand-held surgical tool used during arthroscopic procedures to help insert the arthroscopic sleeve into joints like the shoulder or knee. Its hollow design allows it to fit inside the sleeve’s lumen, ensuring smooth placement before the sleeve is removed, reducing tissue trauma during insertion.
These devices are typically metal, cannulated, and come in various sizes to match different surgical needs. They must be sterilized before use and are regulated as reusable surgical instruments, adhering to medical device safety and performance standards in their respective markets.
