Arthrex AR-3032-4.5 4.5mm Cutter Cannula w/ AR-3033-4.5 Blunt Obturator, Adapter

Arthrex AR-3032-4.5 4.5mm Cutter Cannula w/ AR-3033-4.5 Blunt Obturator, Adapter

Arthrex 4.5mm Arthroscopy Cannula 3-Piece Set (AR-3032-4.5 / AR-3033-4.5 / AR-3035)

The set includes the AR-3033-4.5 Blunt Pencil-Tip Obturator, which is perfectly indexed to the cannula length for atraumatic portal entry, protecting the articular cartilage and synovial lining. The AR-3035 Inflow Adapter bridges the gap between the cannula and standard surgical tubing, providing a 360° swiveling connection that prevents line tangling during lateral or medial camera rotations.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Optimized Fluid Dynamics: The 4.5 mm diameter is optimized for high-volume inflow/outflow, maintaining a clear visual field even during aggressive mechanical debridement.

• Portal Integrity: The metal construction ensures the portal remains patent even in patients with high BMI or thick subcutaneous tissue, where plastic cannulas often kink.

• Safe Joint Entry: The AR-3033-4.5 blunt obturator is designed to "part" rather than "cut" tissue, significantly reducing the risk of iatrogenic chondral injury upon insertion.

• Cost-Effective Reusability: Unlike single-use disposables, this validated stainless steel set provides a lower cost-per-case while maintaining the high-performance standards of the Arthrex ecosystem.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The J-lock mechanism is secure and non-binding. The AR-3033-4.5 obturator is straight and seats perfectly within the cannula. The AR-3035 adapter swivels freely and the lumen is clear.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including surface scuffs, minor scratches, and typical sterilization-related patina on the metal surfaces. These are cosmetic and do not impact the fluid-tight seal or surgical performance.

• Sterilization Note: This set is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned (ensuring the internal lumen is brushed) and autoclaved per your facility's validated Arthroscopy protocols prior to use.

• ✔ Primis "Flush-Flow" Guarantee We guarantee the Arthrex AR-3032-4.5 set to have a patent lumen and a secure J-lock connection. If the obturator is warped or the adapter leaks upon arrival, Primis Medical will provide a full refund or replacement.
