Intended purpose
for the use of distending the tissue around the joint where an arthroscopy is being performed, e.g. the knee or shoulder joint. This is done by filling the cavity with a fluid to extend the tissue around the site facilitating viewing and intervention with an arthroscope. It will typically also be used to irrigate surgically removed bone, cartilage, and other tissue debris, and fluids from the site.
