• DAVENPORT, IA--(Marketwired - Apr 13, 2017) - A
  condition affecting millions of Americans, severe
  carpal tunnel syndrome can cause significant
  discomfort and limit mobility. A new instrument
  that enables micro-invasive carpal tunnel
  release offers better results, shorter recovery,
  and reduced pain compared to traditional surgery,
  says Quad Cities orthopaedic surgeon Tyson Cobb,
  MD. He indicates the SONEX SX-One MicroKnife
  requires a tiny incision and includes
  tissue-sparing features that promote faster
  healing and minimize the risk of complications.

• The SX-One MicroKnife is designed to enter
  through a four to five-millimeter-long incision,
  an opening smaller than the end of a pencil
  eraser. Dr. Cobb explains that once the device is
  inserted he can guide the instrument to the
  transverse carpal ligament (TCL) using ultrasound
  technology, which supplies an image of the
  interior structures. Once positioned, he says the
  TCL Blade can be activated to release the
  irritated ligament and allow smoother, pain-free
  movement.
• In addition to the blade remaining enclosed until
  needed, Dr. Cobb notes that the SX-One
  MicroKnife includes Stealth MicroGuards, which
  deploy to create a safe space around the scalpel
  and minimize the risk of damage to surrounding
  tissues. He says the blade and guards can all be
  closed back up and removed through the same small
  opening, and no stitches are required -- an
  adhesive bandage is sufficient to seal the
  incision.

• Dr. Cobb reveals that traditional open carpal
  tunnel surgery requires an incision that is
  half-an-inch to an inch long or greater. He says
  this size opening typically takes longer to heal,
  causes the patient more pain, and has a higher
  risk of causing damage to nearby blood vessels,
  tendons, and nerves than the micro-invasive
  technique using the SX-One MicroKnife. For these
  reasons, Dr. Cobb believes patients with
  severe carpal tunnel syndrome may benefit from
  consulting with an orthopaedic hand surgeon who
  is adept with this advanced technology. "We are
  proud to be the first to bring this technology to
  the Quad Cities. In addition to faster recovery
  and less post-operative pain, this new technology
  will allow the convenience of an in-office
  procedure that costs less than half of
  traditional surgery."
