The Arthroscopic Hook Probe 9″ Calibrated is a slender, stainless‐steel instrument with a small hooked tip and millimeter markings along its shaft. It passes through arthroscopy portals to gently probe, lift, and measure tears or lesions inside joints.

In veterinary arthroscopy, the 9″ calibrated hook probe allows surgeons to explore joint spaces with minimal trauma. Its fine hook tip slips under torn meniscal flaps or lifted cartilage to assess stability, while the etched millimeter scale on the shaft lets the surgeon read depth directly. Made of German surgical stainless steel, it remains lightweight yet strong through repeated sterilization. By combining precise tactile feedback with on-the-spot measurements, this probe streamlines diagnosis and informs repair decisions without enlarging incisions.

Applications

• Assess meniscal tears and stability
• Measure cartilage defects and depth
• Probe ligament integrity (e.g., cruciate, collateral)
• Locate and remove loose osteochondral fragments
• Retract synovial tissue for debridement

Key Anatomical Details

• Hooked Tip (≈2.5 mm): Gently lifts or probes tissue
• Calibrated Shaft: Laser-etched millimeter markings along 9″
• Slender Profile: Fits through standard arthroscopy cannulas
• Ergonomic Handle: Textured grip for precise control
• Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant and autoclavable

A versatile tool for gentle probing and exact measurement of intra‐articular lesions during minimally invasive joint surgery.
