In a statement, Getelman said: “The ability to get a new 4K scope for every procedure while improving our workflow makes Summit an exciting product for our operating room.

“We’re proud to have performed this procedure at SCOI where surgical innovation has been a hallmark of our practice since our founding.”

Claimed to be a first-of-its-kind 4K single-use surgical arthroscope, Summit is designed to address the difficulties that come with traditional surgical visualisation.

The device comes in packaging that is sterile and designed for single use. It is easy to set up and enhances predictability and workflow.
