Vi

Meniscus Surgery Kit

Management of meniscal injuries has three phases, all of which will require special instrumentation.

The Vi Meniscus Surgery Set contains:

• Stifle Distractor (Spread: Min. 8mm, Max 30mm) x 1
  
• Meniscus Probe 1mm / Nerve Hook 1mm x 1
  
• Vi Fine Stainless Steel Beaver Type Scalpel Handle 130mm x 1
  
• MicroToothed Halsteads
• Beaver Type Scalpel Handle
• 25 x no. 65 Stainless Steel Blade (mini no. 11)
• Stainless Steel Case
• Silicone Protective Insert
  
• Small Balloon Cloth Drape
  

• Exposure of the meniscus, particularly the caudal horn of the medial meniscus. This will require that the tibia is advanced and distracted relative to the femur.
• Examination of the meniscus for lesions. A visual examination is not enough. The surface of the meniscus should be probed for defects and tears. The circumferential attachments should be checked for security.
• Lesions discovered must be managed by debridement or meniscal release.
