Arthrex AR-11800E BirdBeak Evolution 45 Degree Up Tip Arthroscopic Suture Passer

Product Description

The Arthrex AR-11800E BirdBeak Evolution 45 Degree Up Tip Arthroscopic Suture Passer is a next-generation arthroscopic suture passer engineered for precise, efficient, and safe suture management in minimally invasive orthopedic procedures. Featuring a 45° up-curved BirdBeak tip, this instrument allows surgeons to access tight joint spaces with enhanced control and accuracy, making it ideal for meniscal repairs, labral reconstruction, and soft-tissue fixation.

The Evolution design enhances traditional BirdBeak functionality with improved ergonomics, smoother needle passage, and a sharper, more reliable tip. Its curvature provides optimal working angles for difficult intra-articular areas, reducing the need for excessive portal manipulation while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue. The AR-11800E allows for controlled suture capture and passage, delivering consistent and predictable results in every arthroscopic procedure.

Constructed from premium surgical stainless steel, the BirdBeak Evolution ensures long-lasting sharpness, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity even after repeated sterilization. Its ergonomic handle design promotes stable control and reduces hand fatigue, enhancing surgeon comfort during prolonged operative cases.

This advanced suture passer combines precision, reliability, and ease of use, making it an indispensable tool for modern orthopedic arthroscopy and complex soft-tissue repair.
