ABSTRACT:
An arthroscopy portal maker which facilitates substantially precise insertion and location of each of the surgical tools necessary to make a portal, within the area where further arthroscopic surgical procedures are to be performed. The device comprises a canulated shaft which has a cutting end and a gripping portion proximate the end opposite the cutting end. The internal channel of the canulated shaft facilitates slidable cooperation with a puncturing tool, and then a blunt wire rod, which is slidably interchanged with the puncturing tool. After the portal is made, the canulated shaft having a cutting end, is slidably removed over the blunt wire rod, and a conventional canula is then slidably inserted thereover, through the portal and to the location previously occupied by the canulated shaft having a cutting end. The blunt wire rod is then removed so as to enable further surgical procedures to be performed at substantially the precise location previously occupied by the puncturing tool and the blunt wire rod.
