ConMed SHUTT-Linvatec 1.1229 Arthroscopic Punch Forceps Blunt Tip 15° Up 9"

ConMed SHUTT-Linvatec 1.1229 15° Up-Angle Arthroscopic Punch (9")

The ConMed 1.1229 is a professional-grade arthroscopic resection tool built for surgeons who demand consistent mechanical performance. The 9-inch (22.8 cm) length is the clinical standard for providing adequate reach into posterior joint compartments while maintaining superior leverage. The 15° up-angle is specifically designed to follow the natural contour of the femoral condyles, making it an ideal choice for addressing tears in the anterior or middle horn of the meniscus.

As part of the SHUTT-Linvatec series, this punch features a high-tolerance "cleancut" jaw mechanism. This ensures that every bite results in a complete tissue separation, preventing the "hanging" tissue tags that can occur with worn or lower-quality instruments.

Clinical & Design Advantages

• Atraumatic Access: The blunt-tip profile allows for safe passage through portals and across joint surfaces, protecting the chondral surfaces from accidental nicks.

• SHUTT "Clean-Cut" Geometry: Precision-aligned cutting edges provide a sharp, crisp bite, reducing the need for multiple passes on tough fibrocartilage.

• Low-Profile Shaft: The 9-inch shaft is thin enough to fit through standard arthroscopic cannulas while remaining rigid enough to resist flexing during heavy resection.

• Superior Tactile Feedback: The mechanical linkage is tuned to give the surgeon a clear "feel" for the tissue density, which is essential for differentiating between healthy and degenerative meniscus.
