Product Description

The Arthrex AR-12000 Punch Standard Straight Tip, Ø3.4 mm Straight Shaft is a precision-engineered arthroscopic instrument designed to deliver clean, controlled tissue resection during orthopedic procedures. Featuring a standard straight tip combined with a 3.4 mm straight shaft, this punch provides surgeons with exceptional visibility, maneuverability, and cutting efficiency inside tight joint spaces. Its optimized geometry ensures smooth entry into joint portals, while the robust stainless-steel construction offers long-term durability and performance consistency across demanding arthroscopy cases.

This model is widely used in shoulder, knee, hip, ankle, and small-joint arthroscopy, making it one of the most versatile punches in the Arthrex lineup. The straight tip design supports precise trimming of soft tissue, meniscal shaping, labral work, and debridement procedures. Engineered for ergonomic use, the AR-12000 reduces hand fatigue and increases surgical control during prolonged cases.

To further support OR workflow, the instrument offers a low-profile cutting head for enhanced access, a stable cutting mechanism for predictable bite response, and a shaft diameter optimized for minimal trauma while maximizing cutting strength. Surgeons appreciate the predictable feel, clean cutting edges, and compatibility with a broad range of arthroscopic systems.

The Arthrex AR-12000 is built to strict quality standards, making it a dependable choice for surgical centers and hospitals seeking reliable arthroscopy punches that maintain sharpness, precision, and instrument integrity over repeated sterilization cycles.
