Smith & Nephew Surgical Shaver Handpiece Analysis Report

Device Identification

The product in the examined image is a wired and motorized handpiece used in medical and surgical operations. Upon examining its design, control buttons, and fluid port inlet, it has been identified that this device is a “Shaver Handpiece” used in orthopedic surgery, particularly in arthroscopy procedures. The device is presented as a single-piece wired structure designed to be operated by connecting to a main unit (console).

Brand and Model Analysis

The following information has been clarified during the examination of the product’s metal body:

• Brand: The Smith & Nephew brand is clearly visible, positioned vertically on the side surface of the product’s body.
• Model: Although the device’s general form factor bears visual resemblance to Smith & Nephew’s Dyonics series surgical handpieces (such as the EP-1 series), the technical label containing the specific model number or serial number is not legible from the angle in the image. Therefore, only the brand, Smith & Nephew, has been reported with 100% certainty.

Usage Areas

This handpiece is used in the orthopedic branch, particularly in closed joint surgeries (arthroscopy). Thanks to the blades or burs attached to the tip of the device, it is used for shaving and debridement of damaged tissues, cartilages, or bone growths within the joint. It only operates with the relevant arthroscopy motor unit and cannot be used alone.

Physical Condition and Deformation Analysis

Detailed observations regarding the cosmetic and physical condition of the device are as follows:

• Body Condition: The device’s metal body shows superficial dullness due to use and slight fading/wear on the brand inscription. However, no major dents or cracks that would compromise the body’s integrity have been detected.
• Cable and Connector Damage: The most critical observation was made on the cable part. There is a distinct tear/cut on the gray strain relief piece where the cable connects to the metal socket end. The rubber part has started to lose its physical form.
• Grip Surface: The knurled grip surface on the body appears clean and is in a condition to perform its function.

Technical Specifications and Accessories

Technical details obtained from the image are as follows:

• Button Structure: On the upper part of the device, there are black, circular control buttons that provide manual control, likely for adjusting speed or rotation direction. No missing buttons have been observed.
• Fluid/Suction Port: Immediately next to the cable outlet of the device, there is a metal fluid suction or irrigation port. This tip has a “barbed” type structure suitable for hose connection.
• Connector: The cable end features a multi-pin, metal-bodied, industrial-type medical connector with a locking mechanism. No crushing has been observed on the metal part of the connector.
• Quantity Information: The image shows a total of 1 unit of the handpiece (with its integrated cable).

General Condition and Originality

The product is in used (second-hand) condition. Upon examining the quality of the “Smith & Nephew” brand inscription, material structure (stainless metal alloy), cable quality, and socket structure, the product has been assessed as Original.

Potential Failure Risk and Warnings

The damage to the cable protective rubber identified in the images poses a potential risk. This tear could, over time, lead to tension on the internal cables, intermittent contact, or complete cable breakage. During sterilization processes, liquid ingress through this opening could potentially cause a short circuit in the device’s electronic components. Although the device’s metal components appear robust, the cable connection point may require maintenance or repair.

Mechanical and Electronic Component Assessment

No externally visible problems were noted in the body’s mechanics. The tip attachment slot (locking mechanism) appears visually sound. However, since no electronic testing could be performed, it is not possible to confirm whether the device’s motor is functional based solely on the image.
