HP-R39 Arthroscope, Rigid Telescope for Joint Arthroscopy
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- HP-R39 is a rigid arthroscope, the first of five models (HP-R39 and HP-R41 to HP-R44) in our arthroscopy range.
- Our device catalog lists the arthroscope series in 30° and 70° directions of view; the angle, diameter and length of HP-R39 are on its datasheet.
- An arthroscope works through a sheath with irrigation and connects to a camera and light source; we quote the scope with the video equipment on request.
An arthroscope is a rigid telescope that the surgeon inserts into a joint through a small portal, inside a sheath that carries irrigation fluid. The camera shows the joint surfaces, cartilage and ligaments on a monitor. HP-R39 is the first model of our arthroscope series, which continues with HP-R41 to HP-R44; each arthroscopy scope in the series has its own datasheet.
Key Features
- Rigid telescope with eyepiece and light-guide post.
- Series options in our device catalog: 30° and 70° directions of view.
- Arthroscope sterilization methods confirmed from the instructions for use before quoting.
- Can be quoted with a camera system, light source, monitor and trolley.
Applications
- Knee arthroscopy, such as meniscus and ligament procedures.
- Shoulder arthroscopy.
- Diagnostic arthroscopy and joint washout.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Direction of view: 30° is the common all-round choice; 70° helps see around curved joint surfaces.
- Diameter to suit large or small joints.
- Sheath and obturator compatibility, if you use an existing set.
- Quantity, destination and documents; the arthroscope price is quoted on request.

Frequently asked questions
+What is an arthroscope used for?
An arthroscope lets the surgeon look inside a joint through a small incision, to diagnose problems such as meniscus tears, ligament injuries, loose bodies and cartilage damage and to guide their surgical repair without opening the joint. Knees and shoulders are the most common joints.
+What is the difference between an arthroscope and an endoscope?
An arthroscope is a type of rigid endoscope designed for joints. It is used inside a sheath that carries irrigation fluid to expand the joint and keep the view clear. Other rigid endoscopes are designed for the nose, ear, abdomen or bladder.
+Which arthroscope angle should I choose?
A 30° arthroscope is the standard choice for most knee and shoulder work, because rotating it widens the view. A 70° arthroscope looks further sideways, which helps in areas such as the back of the knee or parts of the shoulder. Many hospitals keep both.
