Arthrex AR-13255 Mini Suture Cutter 3.4 mm Straight Shaft Orthopedics Arthroscopy

Product Description

The Arthrex AR-13255 Mini Suture Cutter 3.4 mm Straight Shaft Orthopedics Arthroscopy is a precision-engineered arthroscopic cutting instrument designed for clean, accurate suture trimming in confined joint spaces. Built specifically for orthopedic arthroscopy, this compact cutter provides exceptional performance when working in the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, ankle, and other small-joint procedures where precise control and minimal tissue disruption are essential.

Featuring a micro-profile cutting mechanism, the Mini Suture Cutter allows surgeons to trim sutures flush to the tissue or implant without fraying or leaving excess material behind. The sharp, fine-edged cutter effortlessly slices through high-strength orthopedic sutures—including FiberWire®, FiberTape®, and other braided constructs—making it ideal for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, labral repair, meniscal repair, and general soft-tissue reconstruction.

The 3.4 mm straight shaft offers excellent access through small portals, ensuring superior maneuverability even in anatomically tight spaces. Its slender design enhances visualization inside the joint, while its optimized shaft rigidity supports precise one-handed cutting without flexing. The ergonomic handle allows for natural grip, promoting comfort, stability, and accuracy throughout the procedure.

Manufactured with Arthrex’s high-grade surgical alloys, this Mini Suture Cutter maintains exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term cutting sharpness through repeated sterilization cycles. The robust hinge mechanism ensures smooth operation and consistent cutting performance across a wide range of arthroscopic applications.
