Richard Wolf Arthroscopic Tissue Punch | Right Curved Shaft Configuration | 5 mm Shaft Diameter with 2 mm Active Bite Sizing | 8.5 Inch Total Nominal Length (21.6 cm) | Low-Profile Basket Punch For Joint Debridement | Pre-Owned Hospital Surgery Asset (1/EA)

The Richard Wolf arthroscopy punch is a professional-grade, hospital-level sports medicine instrument expertly engineered to resect, trim, and excise dense fibrocartilage, labral tears, and meniscal fragments during minimally invasive joint surgeries. This specialized instrument features an 8.5 inch low-profile chassis total working footprint) with a 5 mm diameter shaft that curves cleanly to the right. The tip terminates in a precision-machined 2 mm basket punch jaw, allowing the orthopedic surgeon to navigate around tight intra-articular spaces—such as the posterior horns of the meniscus or the deep glenohumeral recesses—with clear visibility. The upper cutting jaw is micro-honed to deliver clean, bite-through mechanical resections without tearing or shredding delicate cartilage margins. Forged from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel with an ergonomic loop handle assembly, this pre-owned instrument provides a durable, high-turnaround capital asset optimized to withstand automated washer debridement and strict dynamic steam autoclave sterilization cycles inside central sterile supply departments (CSSD).
