low as possible, because the pump can only do so much in maintain-
ing a safe pressure inside the joint. If the blood pressure is higher than
the pressure inside the joint that's maintained by the pump, there's
essentially no way to stop bleeding in the surgical field. Even a trace
amount of blood can hinder the surgeon's efforts during arthroscopy
— the effect is similar to a drop of vegetable dye dispersing through
water in a glass.
• Instruments. The system I use features shavers, cutters and burrs
designed for high-speed power and pinpoint precision and control, the
essential elements of successful arthroscopic outcomes. The real
game-changer, though, is the radiofrequency probe I use to simultane-
ously cut and coagulate tissue, which minimizes the bleeding that, as
mentioned, can severely hamper the surgeon's view. OSM
