ACUFEX™

Handheld Instruments

The ACUFEX difference.

Performance in the palm of your hand.
The ACUFEX Difference
ACUFEX™ Handheld Instruments are synonymous with performance,
dependability and durability. Over the years, our extensive line of
punches, scissors and graspers has earned a worldwide reputation
for sharpness, maneuverability, precision and strength.

The ACUFEX Edge

The extraordinary sharpness of our ACUFEX instruments is accomplished through
a proprietary sharpening process that integrates state-of-the-art manufacturing
techniques with precision hand craftsmanship. The exceptionally sharp surgical
edge is enhanced by unique tip designs and tight construction tolerances,
replacing “tearing cuts” with clean, scissor-like cuts and minimal tissue trauma.

Pinless Hinge Design

ACUFEX instruments are linked together by a unique system of grooves and ridges
on the upper jaw, shaft and actuator, eliminating the need for pins. The pinless
hinge design allows even distribution of force over the bearing surfaces while
minimizing stress points.

Selection of Ergonomic Handles

ACUFEX instruments are designed to fit your hand comfortably and are
offered in four ergonomic handle choices, from a traditional loop style,
to handles with an infinite-position locking design, to a “cigar” handle.

Multiple Tip Configurations

Designed for easy access to all areas of the meniscus, Smith & Nephew offers
a variety of tip designs for cutting, trimming and grasping.

Manufacturing Expertise
Not only do we design the instruments, we design the machines that make
the instruments. In addition to custom tooling, we employ demanding quality
control standards and rigid test procedures that result in optimal consistency
from unit to unit.

Genuine Parts and Service

Help extend the value of your ACUFEX instruments with
quality service and genuine factory-supplied
replacement parts. We offer a variety of
service options for you to choose from.

 Care and Maintenance Guidelines
Punches, Scissors, Graspers and Knives
The shafts and tips of ACUFEX™ Instruments are made of specially formulated and treated
surgical stainless steel for optimum sharpness and resistance to corrosion. However,
correct care and maintenance are important in optimizing their performance.

Cleaning
Whenever possible, use demineralized, distilled water when cleaning ACUFEX instruments.
Mineral deposits and impurities in tap water can lead to corrosion. For washing, use a
detergent or solution near neutral pH (7.0 to 8.5) for safe cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaners may
be used. After cleaning, dry the instruments to prevent water impurities from collecting on
surfaces. Place the instruments in the ACUFEX Sterilization Trays between uses to protect tips.

Lubrication
To protect instruments from staining and rusting prior to sterilization or storage,
dip instruments into a water-soluble antimicrobial lubricant, following manufacturer’s
instructions. The lubricant will help to free stiff instruments; if dipping does not free an
instrument, try soaking it overnight.

Resharpening/Preventative Maintenance
Instruments need to be inspected and evaluated on a regular basis to determine whether
resharpening, realignment or refurbishment is needed. Edge Express service from
Smith & Nephew will aid in maintaining proper function and performance. Only sharpening
by Smith & Nephew can maintain and restore the sharpness of the cutting blade or tip to our
original manufacturing specifications. Regular maintenance and the use of a Smith & Nephew
facility for resharpening will maximize the life of the instruments. For more information,
speak directly to your Smith & Nephew Sales Representative or our Service Sales
Specialist at +1 978 749 1262.
