Arthrex AR-12990N Scorpion Knee Needle 1/EA

• Model: AR-12990N

Unlock new levels of precision in knee arthroscopy with the Arthrex AR-12990N Scorpion Knee Needle — your trusted single-handed suture-passing instrument engineered specifically for the knee joint. With its ultra-low profile 3.2 mm jaw and ergonomic one-hand operation, this suture conduit enables surgeons to thread even tight recesses with confidence and speed, reducing operative time and improving workflow efficiency. Designed for the demands of meniscal repair and soft-tissue fixation, the AR-12990N simplifies the process of passing and capturing sutures (including 2-0 and 0 FiberWire®) through one portal, letting you focus on surgical accuracy rather than instrument handling.

Beyond its ergonomic advantages, the Scorpion Knee Needle is built for versatility and reliability in demanding arthroscopic environments. Its angled jaw geometry is engineered specifically for the knee, facilitating access in challenging anatomy while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Because it enables pass and retrieve of the suture in one seamless motion, the instrument simplifies meniscal repair workflows and supports consistent repair constructs across varied case types. Whether performing vertical mattress, loop stitch, or posterior horn/rest root repair techniques, the AR-12990N is the instrument of choice for efficient suture management.

For arthroscopy suites committed to best-in-class instrumentation, the AR-12990N enhances operative efficiency, supports reproducible repair quality and contributes to overall improved patient outcomes. When paired with Arthrex’s comprehensive meniscal repair systems and biologic-enhanced workflows, this needle becomes a key component of a streamlined surgical ecosystem. From reduced portal counts to faster throughput and consistent suture capture, the Scorpion Knee Needle delivers the performance you expect — every case, every time.
