Arthroscopic intervention at the knee joint
Arthroscopic intervention at the knee joint

Knee / upper ankle joint

Today, arthroscopic interventions on the knee joint are standard procedures. From the beginning, R. Wolf has taken a leading position in terms of innovations, standards and quality.

The most recent example consists of the instruments for implant-free ACL reconstruction. R. Wolf offers the complete product range for all customary arthroscopic procedures, such as meniscus resection, meniscus seam, microfracture, cartilage transplant and ACL reconstruction.

Injuries of the cruciate ligament and meniscal lesions

Over the past decades the number of injuries of the capsule ligament apparatus of the knee joint has steadily increased. This is in part due to the intensive leisure time activities of large sections of the population. Ball sports and skiing are amongst such knee-joint-stressing activities. Acute injuries of the knee joint can be reliably diagnosed thanks to clinical diagnostics such as arthroscopy and magnetic resonnance tomography (MRI).
The anterior cruciate ligament is amongst the most frequently injured ligaments of the knee joint. Only in a few cases an isolated injury of the anterior cruciate ligament is found. Rather, in 3 out of 4 acute ACL ruptures, concomitant injuries are diagnosed, out of which 75% are meniscal lesions.

Bioact IF Osteotrans

Bioactive and Bioresorbable Interference Screws for ACL and PCL Reconstruction

Bioresorbable interference screws have been used for fixing tendons in the reconstruction of anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments for many years.
The polymer polyactide has been used as the material of choice in the manufacture of these fixation implants on account of complete biodegradability and bioresorbability.

Bioact IF OSTEOTRANS is the name for the new generation of bioactive and bioresorbable interference screws from Richard WOLF. The unique composite material made of Poly-L-Lactide (PLLA) and Hydroxyapatite (HA) demonstrates an osteoconductive effect in bones. Trabecular structures grow into the surface of the implant within a short space of time.

Arthro trocar sleeves with automatic locking mechanism

Richard Wolf, worldwide one of the leading manufacturers of instruments and product systems in medical engineering has perfected the arthro trocar sleeves with automatic "click" locking mechanism already in successful use. The Richard Wolf trocar sleeves are available in three variants: rigid, swivel and high flow.
They provide numerous excellent benefits that make these arthro sheaths so universal and user-friendly.

  • Automatic locking mechanism
  • Protection against accidentally releasing the locking mechanism
  • Large surface areas on the locks for grasping with fingers
  • Top-quality materials, no chrome-plated parts
  • Higher flow rates
  • Ideal working length of the trocar sleeve
  • Distal centring of the telescope
  • Removable tap plugs
  • No jutting out of the telescope beyond the trocar sleeve
  • Improved removal of the O-rings from the swivel irrigation attachment
  • Light, compact and flexible system
  • Excellent processing characteristics
  • Optimised optical view and performance
