Arthroscopic view using the INTELIJET◊ System. |
Choose the System That's Right for You There are two ways to get superior performance in irrigation and fluid management - and they're both from Smith & Nephew. Our INTELIJET◊ and ACCESS 15 Systems each offer optimal visualization and access across all arthroscopic procedures, but do so in different ways to meet different needs. INTELIJET◊ is a complete, high performance fluid management system that controls both inflow and outflow. It can also be used as a stand-alone inflow pump. ACCESS 15 is a stand-alone irrigation system that delivers stable and accurate joint distention, quickly and easily. No matter which system you choose, your procedures are sure to flow smoothly if it's from Smith & Nephew |

INTELIJET◊ Fluid Management System The Advanced System for Total Fluid Management Featuring flow rates in excess of 2 l/min and special high flow cannulas, INTELIJET◊ is a patented, state-of-the-art fluid management system. It actively controls both inflow and outflow to the joint, improving operative joint distention, thus increasing access to the operative site. The INTELIJET◊ System is designed to communicate with the Smith & Nephew DYONICS◊ Power Shaver System for more efficient, effective fluid management. Maximum Visualization, Accuracy, and Flexibility INTELIJET◊ features a centrifugal pump for a balanced flow and clear viewing field. This allows for joint pressure relief using free backflow through the tubing cassette. In addition, the system delivers accurate calculation of in-joint pressure for accurate pressure management. |

| Gravity-fed inflow that serves as a backup irrigation system | Option of detailed or quick-startup menu, for flexibility in a variety of OR setups or procedures | Preconnected tubing cassettes for simplified setup | Wireless remote for control of pressure and suction from the sterile field |
| The Smith & Nephew ACCESS 15 is the fast and easy system for accurate joint pressure management. The snap-on tubing cassette makes setup a simple one-hand operation. Advanced Flow Regulation (AFR) delivers optimal flow rates for stable and accurate in-joint pressure with any inflow setup. For optimum visualization, the system's wash function is designed to both clear debris and distend the joint immediately in the event of sudden fluid loss. These key features make the ACCESS 15 ideal for ACL repair and subacromial decompression. |

The flow charts below demonstrate the performance of in-joint pressure maintenance at increasing flow rates. Note how INTELIJET◊ and ACCESS 15 Systems maintain more stable joint pressures across more flow rates compared to a gravity-based system. This allows the surgeon to create the higher flows required and maintain good joint distention.
