Linvatec 87012 Arthroscopy Pump Hand Control Autoclavable w/ Cord
Linvatec 87012 Arthroscopy Pump Hand Control Autoclavable w/ Cord
• Model: 87012
• Includes 87013 10' Detachable Cord
• Overall Length (Remote): 4-1/2 inches
The Linvatec 87012 hand control serves as a remote interface for an arthroscopy pump system, enabling the surgeon or assistant to manipulate irrigation/flow settings directly from the sterile field. By situating control in the hand rather than at a console, it reduces the need for personnel to break sterility or walk away from the operative field simply to adjust pump parameters. This enhances workflow efficiency and allows finer, real-time adjustments during the procedure.
The hand control is designed to be autoclavable, meaning it can undergo steam sterilization cycles between uses. To accommodate this, manufacturers and vendors caution that the device should be cooled before sterilization, and it includes safety logic (e.g. alarms and interlocks) to prevent misuse—such as forbidding overriding of alarms via holding the “Run” button. This safety design is critical in preventing unintended overpressure or over-flow in the joint space during irrigation.
Mechanically, the 87012 is built for repeated use in surgical environments. The exterior is likely ruggedized to resist moisture, sterilant exposure, and handling. The corded connection ensures a reliable hardwired link to the pump console, avoiding wireless latency or interference. Given its interface role, tactile feedback, button layout, and durability would be essential. Although full internal specifications are not publicly documented, this hand control remains an important accessory to arthroscopy pump systems in enabling intraoperative control with sterile technique.
This medical equipment item is a subcomponent or part that has been extracted from a larger system or unit. It is intended for use as a replacement part or for integration into another system. Its condition may vary, but it has been removed with care to preserve its functionality.
