Hip Labral Scorpion

Product catalog summary

Introduction: The document describes the usage and features of the Hip Labral Scorpion (AR-16991), a medical device designed for suture passing and retrieving in hip labral repair procedures.

Specifications: The device is designed to be fast and simple, allowing for the passing and retrieving of FiberWire® suture with minimal steps. It features an ergonomic, low-profile design that fits through an 8.25 mm cannula, and its tip geometry is specifically designed to accommodate hip joint anatomy. The device is also atraumatic, with smooth jaws and rounded edges to minimize iatrogenic damage.

Procedure: The procedure involves retracting the Scorpion from the tissue with the captured FiberWire in the lower jaw. To release the suture, both suture limbs are pulled, and the instrument is squeezed. The labrum is grabbed, and the handle is squeezed to advance the needle and FiberWire through the tissue. FiberWire is loaded into the groove on the top jaw, and the instrument is squeezed until the FiberWire enters the slot on the needle.

Key Features: The device allows for minimal tissue penetration, using a small diameter Hip Labral Scorpion Needle (AR-16991N). It is covered by U.S. Patent No. 6,716,234 and has a patent pending.

Conclusion: The Hip Labral Scorpion is a patented device by Arthrex Inc., designed to enhance the efficiency and safety of hip labral repair procedures.
