The difficulty in reprocessing shaver blades involves sterilization and quality control. Furthermore, reprocessed shaver blades are not as sharp as new disposable ones. Surgeons may encounter problems with operating on some patients who have higher bone density than others. Most surgeons prefer disposable shavers over reprocessed shavers in the United States.
Hand instruments are used in arthroscopic procedures to remove cartilage, cut tissue and perform bone debridement. A typical hand instrument holds a disposable blade that is covered by a retractable shroud. The device is inserted into the patient through an endoscopic portal without causing damage. Hand instruments are generally controlled by a foot switch that allows operators to have greater freedom of hand movement.
