Arthrex APS II Shaver Handpiece | Footswitch Control | AR-8330F

The Arthrex AR-8330F is a heavy-duty, reusable orthopaedic shaver handpiece designed for the Arthrex Power System II (APS II) console. Widely utilized in arthroscopic procedures of the knee, shoulder, and small joints, this handpiece provides high-torque performance for efficient soft tissue resection and bone burring.

This specific unit is configured for Footswitch Control, meaning speed and direction adjustments are managed via the APS II console's foot pedal rather than integrated hand controls.

Key Features & Design Architecture

• High-Torque Performance: Engineered to drive a wide range of arthroscopic burs and blades, maintaining steady RPMs even under heavy cortical bone loads.

• Footswitch Configuration: Preferred by surgeons who favor a completely slick, lightweight handpiece handle to maximize tactile sensitivity and reduce hand fatigue during long arthroscopic cases.

• Ergonomic Lightweight Handle: The slim profile ensures excellent maneuverability within tight intra-articular spaces, such as the posterior horn of the meniscus or the subacromial space.

• Robust Cable Integration: Features a heavy-duty, molded strain-relief cable designed to withstand the strict sterilization and torque demands of high-volume sports medicine suites.
