Product Overview
Ultrasound-guided Carpal Tunnel Release with the SX-One MicroKnife®
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects more than 12 million Americans and results in 500,000 surgeries every year. 1 Traditional open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release (CTR) procedures can be effective but may result in a lengthy recovery period and a large and sometimes painful scar.
The new, ultra-low profile SX-One MicroKnife® is an innovative surgical device that enables Ultrasound-guided Carpal Tunnel Release (USCTR) through a single micro-incision (4-5 mm) under ultrasound guidance, or with a traditional mini-open incision without ultrasound guidance. Minimally invasive techniques can result in a faster recovery time and minimal scarring.
• Micro-incision, Micro-recovery
• Excellent patient outcomes with USCTR compared to traditional surgery
- 5 times faster pain relief
- 5 times faster return to normal daily activities
- Significantly less pain medication utilized
• Ultrasound guidance enables real-time visualization of the surrounding anatomy
• Consistent safe zone enhances the protection of sensitive anatomic structures during ligament transection
