Another breakthrough in fluid management for percutaneous shoulder and hip arthroscopy, the TwoVu EX adds anti-extravasation capabilities to the standard TwoVu’s irrigation fluid flow capabilities. This soft polymer, low-profile device slips easily over an arthroscope’s own sheath to provide a dedicated outflow channel from the joint space as well as a completely separate anti-extravasation outflow channel. Finally, a simple solution to visibly reducing interstitial shoulder swelling.
- The patent-pending Extravastat anti-extravasation technology is incorporated into the cannula to reduce interstitial swelling at its source, the portal/tissue interface.
- Continuous outflow from joint space via proximal line, plus continuous anti-extravasation outflow via distal line.
- Ensures tissue quality is maintained by preventing interstitial fluid saturation.
- Provides greater pressure control inside the joint throughout the procedure.
- Eliminates having to switch from inflow to outflow on the scope to remove debris and regain image clarity (even with a pump).
- Reduces potential for damaging fluid temperature build-up (above 45°C) in the joint when using radio frequency devices.
- Delivers continuous outflow to manage fluid temperature while maintaining fluid pressure and visual clarity throughout a procedure.
- Insulates the metal scope sheath, preventing interference with RF ablation or thermal remodeling devices, even upon direct contact.
Other features include:
- Incorporates easily into a surgeon’s current technique.
- Comes in a variety of configurations to fit over a wide range of scope sheath sizes for maximum performance.
